Picking The Right File Format When Making Graphics.
There are several file formats that could be put to use for saving images and for a relatively raw designer this can usually lead to a big issue because you will need to understand how to incorporate a specific format, given below is an explanation of the advantages and issues of some well known file formats.If you are keen on graphic making or would like to create graphical representations for your web site, it is essential to know about the varied image formats and their traits so that you can use the correct file format for graphics. Normally used formats for pictures are GIF, JPEG and PNG, all of these formats is known to have its own merits so lets talk about the pros and cons of using these file formats, the type of image format that should live up to the requirements of your website and optimizing your images for the web usage.
GIF: It is the abbreviation for Graphics Interchange Format; the image format is one of the more well known file types. The image format is well accepted because of its tiny image size which makes uploading less time consuming. But like in the JPEG format, details are not lost in this format ; this equates to the fact that you will be able to store the image in a smaller size without compromising the quality of the images. The format is also known to support transparency in pictures, it is by far the most commonly used file formats for icon creation. Unlike the other formats, animation is also offered in GIF. If you would like to optimize a GIF file, it is important to restrict the size of the file; it is advisable that you select a 32 color palette to create a suitably small size.
JPEG: This is the abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group; the file type is commonly called JPG and is frequently incorporated on websites. One of the main advantages of using this type of image is that you could save the graphics in true color that affords you as many as 16 million colors; making this file format appropriate for storing photos and pictures that include vast color work. One of the problems of utilizing JPG is the data loss that will have to be tackled every time the picture is saved; this means that the picture is prone to compromised clarity and many information may be lost. Unlike the GIF format, transparency is not possible in this format. If you are using a superior image editor for instance, the Adobe Photoshop, you will be able to choose the quality and the size of the JPG file but it is important to understand that a lower resolution will mean a small size, which is simple to upload.
PNG: Is stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a relatively new file type. PNG is offered in two forms; PNG-8 which offers 8 bit color format and the PNG-24 which uses 24 color images. PNG-8 can compress graphics with wonderful detail and without the customary loss of data observed in in GIF images; this leads to high image quality and fast uploads. However, PNG-24 is not as efficient as JPG when you need to save photos and other illustrations that merit the use of a wider color range. The image format is sans loss; this means that the image maintains its clarity and quality. PNG-24 supports transparency and you can utilize varying degrees of of the feature in this format. When you use this file format the graphics are professional looking because you cant see jagged lines when pitched against a contrasting color backgrounds like GIF files.
