Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG Image Format in Your Web Design?
The benefits of incorporating PNG images in website creation over other image formats like GIF and JPEG; the file type helps to make really amazing and wonderful icons that will prove alluring to your customers.The PNG file type was introduced some time ago; it was brought out in the marketlfor consumers in 1995/96 to cover the drawbacks of the the common GIF imageformat. However, it failed to create ripples because the early browsers could not offer support to the advanced attributes of PNG so internet designers and makers were compelled to use it sparingly. One of the primary hurdles faced by PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of the time; IE had limited provision for PNG support consequently the format could only be incorporated in the most restricted way. But metamorphosed with the introduction of IE7; this new product from Microsoft has helped in increasing the utility of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the the most useful image formats around today:
It is possible to create images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or a property known as alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, you will see that one of the major differences is that you you will be restricted to saving a specific color as transparent in GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with no other color in between with the use of PNG, you get apecific advantage; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a background with gradient or a water mark. The image file type gives you the option to use the slow fading ofshades from entirely opaque to se through, so that you can see the webpage below
They lookfantastic: Not only do you get surprising flexibility when using PNG images but also ; there are several a myriad of other benefit to using this format. For instance, if you choose a JPG image, you lose a part of the information from the original file every time you save the file, so eventually, you will be able to see a noticeable deterioration in the appearance of the images. Although, this problem has been solved in the image format and you can store the pictures without compromising any details, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite ineffective if you are going to store a photograph. But, when you use PNG, you could get the perfect features of both these formats; you will have access to a a full color display similar to JPEG file type 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}.
