Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG Images in Your Website Creation?
The pros of including PNG image format in web designing over other formats ;for instance, GIF and JPEG; the file type can be used to make really amazing and efficient web graphics that will wow your customersThe PNG file type was introduced quite a while back; it was put forth for consumers around 95/96 to cover the drawbacks of the the common GIF file type. However, it did not catch on because the the browsers of the time were not designed to support the state of the art features of PNG so web designers and makers had to include it in their designs restrictedly. One of the main blocks that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of that period; IE had limited place for PNG support consequently the format could only be made use of in the most restricted way. Then, matters metamorphosed with the introduction of IE7; this new browser from Microsoft has helped in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the best image formats around today:
You will be able to create see through images or a property known as alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, will notice that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you you will be restricted to saving a particular color in a transparent format through GIF which means that you can get the color whether opaque or transparent with no other color in between; however, with PNG, you get a distinct feature over GIF; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG picture with a soft drop shadow and then use it against a background of your choice. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a watermark or a gradient background. The image file type allows for the gradual fading of colors from completely opaque to see through, and hence you will be able to view the webpage below
They look fabulous: It is a well known fact that PNG images give you extreme flexibility also; there are several other benefits to incorporating this format. For instance, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the data from the original file each time you save the file, so eventually, you will be able to see a conspicuous deterioration in the quality of the pictures. Even if, this issue has been solved in in the file type and it is possible to save the files without compromising any details, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which renders it quite useless if you want to store a photograph. However, if PNG is incorporated, you could get the most desired benefits of the image formats; you get a full color display similar to JPEG format and it also offers managed color palette as seen in GIF files. Also the compression of the picture is without loss so the picture does not change despite innumerable times of saving the file.
PNG allows for self optimization: A major concern that web designers need to handle frequently is the issue where the brightness and the contrast ratio of the screen has to be changed to see the pictures correctly; this problem occurs due to the difference in the Gamma setting used for the different monitors. Gamma setting is a technique that helps to spread the the light across the display surface. However, diverse operating systems use varying Gamma settings. Therefore, an image that is color corrected for Windows may appear abnormal in Mac. Here again, in this situation the versatile PNG format can help you out, in PNG, you can store the pictures with with a Gamma correction feature that is innate so despite the differences in operating systems; the Gamma settings will be changed on its own to show a picture with the perfect contrast and brightness.
