Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 287 Exporting an illustration as a universally supported PNG file, part of Deke's Techniques.
…Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, we're going to take that avatar that we were working on…last week, and we're going to export it as a universally compatible PNG file.…The checkerboard represents the transparency, incidentally.…Now you might be thinking, hey Deke, you know what?…Buddy, I don't need your help to export…a PNG file from Illustrator, thank you very much.…But that's not what we're going to be doing.…We're going to be copying the illustration and pasting it…into Photoshop, because we're going to have more control there.…
For example, we can compare that avatar to the…original photograph and decide if it's a good match.…Of course it's idealized, and it's stylized and all that.…But is it recognizable?…And we can also test whether the avatar is going to work when it's reduced in size.…Because right now, when it's big like this,…it looks great. But what if it's small?…What if we reduce it?…Well, that's something we can see uniquely inside…of Photoshop and then we'll export the PNG file.…
