Image sizes: 256x256, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 20x20, 16x16, 512x512 File formats: BMP, GIF, PNG, ICO ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG File Format in Your Website Designs?The pros of including PNG images in web designing over various other file types such as GIF and JPEG; the file format helps to make bettergood and spectacular images that will prove alluring to your customers.The PNG file format was introduced a few years back; it was brought out in the marketlfor consumers in 1995/96 to make up for the shortcomings of the popular GIF file type. However, it did not make an impression because the the browsers of the time could not offer support to the advanced features of PNG so website designers and developers were compelled to use it sparingly. One of the major blocks standing in the way of PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had limited space for PNG support which equated to the fact that the format could only be incorporated in limited capacity. However changed after the availability of IE7; this latestfresh offeringbrowser from Microsoft has aided in increasing the utility of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the the most useful image formats to be introduced so far: You will be able to create images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or a property known as alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, you will see that a very disinct advantage with PNG is that you will only be able to save a specific color transparently through the use of GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be transformed whether opaque or transparent with nothing in between; however, with PNG, you get a serious feature over GIF; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. You can also use the image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The image file type gives you the option to use the smooth fading ofcolors from entirely opaque to transparent, so that you can see the webpage below They lookfabulous: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also ; there are numreous other advantages to using this format. For example, when you use a JPEG image, you lose some of the information from the initial image every time the file is saved, so eventually, you will be able to view a distinct decline in the finesse of the pictures. Even if, this problem has now been sortedbeen resolved in the image format and you can save the images without compromising any details, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which rendersimpart it quite ineffective if you have to save a picture. But, with PNG, you can get the best attributes of of the image formats; you will have access to a an extensive color display similar to JPEG images and it also}{supports| provides|offers} managed color palette {like|a la| as seen in} GIF files. {Also|At the same time|Another advantage is that} the {compression|storage} of the {file|image|picture} is {lossless|sans loss|without loss} so the {image|picture|photograph} {stays put|stays as it is|does not change} {regardless of how many time you save it|despite innumerable times of saving the file|even if you save the file several times}. {PNG is self optimizingL Self Optimization is possible in PNG|PNG allows for self optimization}: {One of the hurdles| A major concern|A serious problem} that web {designers|pogrammers} {face|have to tackle|need to handle} {on a daily basis|frequently|veryoften} is the {fact that|issue where|the anomaly due to which} {the contrast and the brightness of the monitor|the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen|the contrast and brightness of the commuter screen} has to be {adjusted|changed|regulated} to see the {images|pictures|the display} {properly|correctly|appropriately}; {this happens|this problem occurs|the issue comes into the picture} due to {the Gamma settings of different monitors|various Gamma setting used in monitors from different vendors|the difference in the Gamma setting used for the different monitors}. {Gamma|Gamma setting} is a {method|technology|technique} {used|incorported|that helps} to {distribute|scatter|spread} the {luminance|brightness|the light} across the {display surface|screen|monitor display}.
