  4. Graphic Interchange Format • .gif • 256 colors • used for high resolution graphics • displayed on a variety of software • intended as an exchange and display mechanism for graphic images

  5. When to use GIF Small, icons and images Graphics, logos, logotype Flat color areas When you absolutely want to support every browser When not to use GIF Photographic continuous-tone images When .gif is bigger than a .jpeg Lots and lots of colors General Rules

  6. Joint Photographic Experts Group • .jpg or .jpeg • designed for compressing either full-color or gray-scale images of natural, real-world scenes. • works well on photographs, naturalistic artwork, and similar material; not so well on lettering, simple cartoons, or line art. • handles only still images

  7. Shrinking the Web • File size directly relates to download speed; the “general rule” is that every kilobyte of data takes about one second to download over average Web viewer’s modem. • Both JPEG and GIF files formats support impressive compression for slimming files. http://www.zdnet.com/macuser/mu_0896/dtm/shrinking.html
