Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG Images in Your Website Creation?
The benefits of using PNG image format in web designing over various other file types such as GIF and JPEG; the file type can be used to make good and wonderful icons that will prove alluring to your visitorsThe PNG image format was introduced quite a while back; it was brought out in the market around 95/96 to make up for the shortcomings of the the common GIF file format. However, it failed to create ripples because the then browsers were not designed to support the state of the art attributes of PNG so website designers and creators were compelled to incorporate it stingily. One of the main hindrances faced by the format was Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was the most well known and widely used browsers of the time; IE had limited place for PNG support which equated to the fact that the format could only be incorporated in the most restricted way. Then, the scene changed with the introduction of IE7; this new browser from Microsoft has aided in increasing the usability of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is by far the best image formats to be introduced so far:
It is possible to create transparent images or alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, will notice that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you can only save a specific color in a transparent format through GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with just transparency in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get a specific feature over GIF; because the format can be used to produce semi transparency. This feature gives you the ability to save a PNG picture with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. The Image can also be used as a watermark or a gradient background. The file type gives you the option to use the gradual fading of hues from completely opaque to absolutely transparent, and hence you will be able to view the webpage that lies in the background
They look fabulous: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also; there are a myriad of other benefits to incorporating this format. For example, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the information from the original file whenever you save the file, so in time, you will notice a noticeable deterioration in the appearance of the images. Even if, this concern has now been sorted in in the file type and you can save the files without losing any details, GIF has a limited color palette of 256, which renders it quite ineffective if you want to store a snap shot. But, with PNG, you will get the best attributes of the image formats; you will have access to a full color display similar to JPEG images and it also supports managed color palette a la GIF files. Also the storage of the file is without loss so the photograph stays as it is regardless of how many time you save it.
PNG is self optimizing: One of the hurdles that web programmers need to handle frequently is the anomaly due to which the contrast and brightness of the commuter screen has to be changed to see the images properly; the issue comes into the picture due to various Gamma setting used in monitors from different vendors. Gamma is a technique used to scatter the brightness across the screen. However, different operating systems use distinct Gamma settings. Hence, a picture that is color corrected specifically for Windows may not look right on a Mac. Here again, in this situation the innovative PNG picture format can prove useful, in PNG, you can save the files with an inherent Gamma correction feature so despite the differences in operating systems; the Gamma settings will be automatically adjusted to display a file with the impressive brightness and contrast.
