Icon sizes: 256x256, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16, 512x512 File formats: ICO, GIF, PNG, BMP ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG File Format in Your Web Design?The pros of using PNG image format in web designing over other formats such as GIF and JPEG; the file type works well if you need to make bettergood and wonderful icons that will prove alluring to your consumers.The PNG file format was introduced some time ago; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers in the mid 90's to make up for the shortcomings of the the common GIF file type. However, it did not make an impression because the early browsers could not offer support to the progrresiveLstate of the art offerings of PNG so website designers and developers were compelled to use it restrictedly. One of the major hindrances standing in the way of PNG was with Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of that period; IE had very little space for PNG support consequently the format could only be made use of to a bare minimum. But went through a change after the availability of IE7; this new offeringbrowser from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the popularity of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is by far the the most innovative image formats to be introduced so far: It is possible to create images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or a feature called alpha transparency: When you compare PNG with GIF, will notice that one of the major differences is that you can only save a particular color transparently through the use of GIF this simply means that the color can be transformed regardless of it being opaque or transparent with just transparency in between; however, with PNG, you get adistinct feature over GIF; because the format is capable of producing semi transparent pixels. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG picture 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 fully opaque to transparent, so that you can see the webpage underneath They lookspectacular: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are numreous other benefit to including this format. For instance, when you use a JPEG image, you lose a portion of the data on the original file every time the file is saved, so in time, you will notice a conspicuous downgrade in the finesse of the pictures. Even if, this problem has now been sortedbeen resolved in GIF and you can store the pictures without losing any information, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite futile if you have to save a photograph. But, when you use PNG, you will get the perfect features of the two file types; you get 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}. {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}.
