However, it did not catch on because the the browsers of the time could not offer support to the advanced features of PNG so internet designers and makers had to incorporate it sparingly. One of the primary blocks faced by PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was one of the most popular browsers of the time; IE had little or no place for PNG support consequently the format could only be incorporated in limited capacity. the scene metamorphosed with the introduction of IE7; this latestfresh offeringbrowser from Microsoft has proved immensely useful in increasing increasing the popularity of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the the most innovative image formats around today: Youcan get tranparent images or a feature called alpha transparency: When you analyze the features of GIF and PNG, it will become apparent that a very disinct advantage with PNG is that you can only save any odd color in a transparent format through GIF this simply means that the color can be used whether opaque or transparent with no other color in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get apecific benefit; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG picture with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. 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 smooth fading ofhues from entirely opaque to transparent, exposing the webpage underneath They lookfabulous: It is a well known fact that PNG images give you extreme flexibility also ; there are several a myriad of other advantages to incorporating this format. For instance, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose some of the data from the initial image whenever you save the file, so in time, you will be able to view a noticeable deterioration in the appearance of the pictures. Even though, this issue has been solved in the image format and will be able to store the pictures without compromising any details, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite futile if you have to store a picture. However, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the perfect attributes of the two file types; you will be provded a a complete 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}.
