10. Working with Images
- The size and quality of an image for use on a web page is determined by a variety of things:
- Physical Size - The physical size of an image is based upon two things: The size of the image on the screen and the file size. Generally, the file size is treated as a different issue.
- File Size - This is the size of the file; the size dictates the time it takes to load your page, the larger the file size, often increased because of a high image resolution quality, the longer it will take to load. People often don't have the patience to wait through long web page loads, so keeping your file sizes low speeds up your web page access times. Typically, large high quality images should be kept between 100K and 60K. Smaller images should be closer to 30K and lower.
- Maximum file size is 1 GB, but it can slow down your site!
- Resolution - Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image. Resolution is sometimes identified by the width and height of the image as well as the total number of pixels in the image.
- File Type - There are basically X image types popularly found on the Internet: jpeg, gif, and png
- jpg (JPEG) is good for photographs. Saving a photo as jpg removes detail from the photo. Good photo editors let you control how much detail is removed (the "compression"). Different photos need different compression; doing this carefully and viewing the result can give you a usable photo with a small file size.
- gif can be poor for photographs. It's better for line art, like logos, with solid areas of the same color, and animation
- png is for both photographs and line art. It compresses photos without losing detail, but usually makes larger photo files than JPEGs. Some older browsers don't completely support png, though.
