However, it did not make an impression because the the browsers of the time were not designed to support the advanced features of PNG so internet designers and developers had to incorporate it restrictedly. One of the major blocks faced by the format was Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of the time; IE had little or no provision for PNG support which equated to the fact that the format could only be made use of in limited capacity. But, the scene went through a change with the introduction of IE7; this new browser from Microsoft has aided in increasing the popularity of PNGs. So here is why at three reasons why PNG is by far the most innovative image formats in the market today: You can get images that can be superimposed due to their transparency or a property known as alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, you will see that A definitive difference in the two formats is that you will only be able to save a particular color transparently through the use of GIF which means that the color can be transformed regardless of it being opaque or transparent with just transparency in between; however, with PNG, you get a distinct benefit; because the format can be used to produce semi transparency. With this attribute, 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 lets you incorporate the slow fading of colors from completely opaque to see through, so that you can see 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 advantages to including this format. For instance, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose some of the information on the original file every time you save the file, so after a while, you will be able to view a noticeable deterioration in the finesse of the media. Even if, this problem has now been sorted in in the file type and you will be able to store the files without compromising any details, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which makes it quite futile if you are going to save a snap shot. But, when you use PNG, you will get the perfect features of the image formats; you will be provided a full color display like with JPEG images and it also provides managed color palette as seen in GIF files. At the same time the compression of the file is sans loss so the image does not change despite innumerable times of saving the file. PNG allows for self optimization: A major concern that web programmers need to handle very often is the fact that the contrast and the brightness of the monitor has to be regulated to see the pictures properly; this problem occurs due to the difference in the Gamma setting used for the different monitors. Gamma setting is a technology used to scatter the the light across the display surface. However, different operating systems use a variety of Gamma settings. So, a picture that is color corrected for Windows may not look right on a Mac. Again, in this scenario the innovative PNG image type can help you out, in PNG, you can save the images with an inherent Gamma correction feature so regardless of the operating system; the Gamma settings will be automatically adjusted to show a file with the impressive ratios of contrast as well as brightness. ![]()
