Why Should You Use PNG Image Format in Your Web Design?
The benefits of incorporating PNG image format in website designing over various other file types like GIF and JPEG; the file format helps to make really amazing and wonderful icons that will wow your visitors.
The PNG image format was introduced some time ago; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers in 1995/96 to meet the deficiencies of the popular GIF imageformat. However, it did not make an impression because the then browsers were unable to support the progrresiveLstate of the art features of PNG so website designers and makers were forced to to incorporate it stingily. One of the main hurdles faced by PNG was with Microsoft's flagship product, Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of that period; IE had limited place for PNG support which meant that the format could only be used in the most restricted way. However changed with the introduction of IE7; this new product from Microsoft has aided in increasing the usability of PNGs. So lets take a look at three reasons why PNG is by far the best image formats to be introduced so far:
Youcan get images that can be superimposed due to their transarentcy or a feature called 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 in a transparent format through GIF this simply means that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with nothing in between with the use of PNG, you get apecific advantage; because the format can be used to roduce semi tranparency. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG file with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. Through this feature you will be able to use an image as a watermark or a gradient background. The file type gives you the option to use the smooth fading ofcolors from entirely opaque to transparent, and hence you will be able to view the webpage below
They lookfabulous: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are several a myriad of other advantages to using this format. For instance, if you choose a JPG image, you lose some of the information from the original file each time you save the file, so in time, you will be able to view a distinct downgrade in the finesse of the images. Even if, this problem has now been sortedbeen resolved in the image format and will be able to save the files without compromising any details, GIF has a highly restrictive 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite useless if you are going to store a snap shot. But, with PNG, you will get the perfect attributes of the two file types; you will be provded a an extensive color display like the one used in JPEG file type 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}.
