Icon sizes: 256x256, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16 File formats: ICO, GIF, PNG, BMP ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why Should You Use PNG Images in Your Web Design?The advanatges of incorporating PNG images in website designing over various other image formats such as GIF and JPEG; the file type helps to make bettergood and spectacular images that will prove alluring to your customers.The PNG image format was introduced a few years back; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers in the mid 90's to make up for the shortcomings of the popular GIF file type. However, it did not catch on because the the browsers of the time could not offer support to the advanced offerings of PNG so internet designers and developers were compelled include it in their designs stingily. One of the main hindrances faced by PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, 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 made use of in limited capacity. matters changed when IE7 was brought out; this latestfresh offeringbrowser from Microsoft has helped in increasing the utility of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the best image formats in the market today: You will be able to create images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, you will see that a very disinct advantage with PNG is that you will only be able to save a specific color transparently through the use of GIF which means that the color can be transformed whether opaque or transparent with just transparency in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get adistinct advantage; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. This simply means that you can save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then fuse it with a background that suits your taste. The Image can also be used as a background with gradient or a water mark. The image file type gives you the option to use the glardual fading ofhues from completely opaque to transparent, so that you can see the webpage that lies in the background They lookfantastic: 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 example, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose some of the data from the original file every time you save the file, so in time, you will notice a conspicuous decline in the appearance of the images. Even if, this issue has been solved in the image format and you can save the files without compromising any data, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which makes it quite futile if you want to store a photograph. However, with PNG, you could get the perfect benefits of the two file types; you will have access to a a full color display similar to JPEG format 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}.
