Why Is it In Your Best Interest To Use PNG Images in Your Website Designs?
The advanatges of incorporating PNG images in website designing over various other image formats ;for intance, GIF and JPEG; the file format can be use to make bettergood and wonderful icons that will entice your visitors.
The PNG file type was introduced some time ago; it was put forth in the marketlfor consumers around 95/96 to cover the drawbacks of the popular GIF file format. However, it did not catch on because the then browsers were unable to support the advanced offerings of PNG so web designers and developers were forced to to use it restrictedly. One of the primary hurdles that marred the features of PNG was with Microsoft Internet Explorer which was by far the most famous browsers of that period; IE had limited place for PNG support which equated to the fact that the format could only be used in limited capacity. Then, went through a change with the introduction of IE7; this new product from Microsoft has aided in increasing the utility of PNGs. So here is a look at three reasons why PNG is one of the best image formats around today:
Youcan get tranparent images or alpha transparency: When you pitch GIF against PNG, it will become apparent that a very disinct advantage with PNG is that you you will be restricted to saving any odd color as transparent in GIF this equates to the fact that the color can be used regardless of it being opaque or transparent with nothing in betweenbut when you use PNG, you get adistinct feature over GIF; because the format supports semi transparent pixels. With this attaribute, you can save a PNG image with a soft drop shadow and then float it against any background. The Image can also be used as a watermark or a gradient background. The format gives you the option to use the glardual fading ofhues from entirely opaque to transparent, and hence you will be able to view the webpage below
They lookspectacular: Apart from the fact, that you get amazing flexibility wit PNG images ; there are numreous other advantages to including this format. For instance, if you make use of the JPG Format, you lose a portion of the information from the initial image each time the file is saved, so after a while, you will be able to view a conspicuous deterioration in the appearance of the media. Even though, this concern has been solved in the image format and you can store the files without losing any data, GIF only allows for a limited 256 color palette, which rendersimpart it quite futile if you want to save a snap shot. But, if PNG is incorporated, you can get the most desired features of the two file types; you get a a complete color display similar to 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}.
