However, it did not make an impression because the early browsers could not offer support to the advanced features of PNG so internet designers and developers were compelled to use it sparingly. One of the major hurdles that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft's Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of the time; IE had limited place for PNG support consequently the format could only be incorporated in limited capacity. the scene metamorphosed after the availability of IE7; this new product from Microsoft has aided in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the best image formats around today: You will be able to create see through images or a feature called alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, you will see that one of the major differences is that you can only save a specific color in a transparent format through GIF which means 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 adistinct feature over GIF; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. You can also use the image as a gradient background or water mark. The format allows for the glardual fading ofshades from fully opaque to absolutely transparent, and hence you will be able to view the webpage underneath They lookfantastic: It is a well known fact that PNG images give you extreme flexibility also ; there are numreous other benefit to using this format. For instance, when you use a JPEG image, you lose a part of the information from the original file whenever you save the file, so eventually, you will be able to view a conspicuous decline in the quality of the media. Even if, this issue has now been sortedbeen resolved in in the file type and it is possible to save the pictures without losing any information, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite futile if you are going to store a photograph. But, when you use PNG, you could get the most desired attributes of of the image formats; you get a a full color display like with 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}.
