In this movie I'll explain how to save that same high-contrast image as the PNG File.…PNG can do everything that GIF can do, and in fact, PNG can do it better.…Because PNG has the advantage of generating smaller file sizes; however, PNG…doesn't necessarily enjoy as wide a support as GIF.…So even though all the major web Browsers support PNG, a lot of web sites out…there don't support PNG.…So if you are posting to a third- party site, you'll need to figure out…whether there are except PNG graphics. If so, go with PNG for your…high-contrast art, if not go with GIF.…
So I still have Deke's Techniques 060.psd selected. I'll go up to the File menu…and choose the Save for Web command, and I'm going to go ahead and zoom in on…my Graphic again so I can keep an eye on it.…When I'm zoomed in this far, I can see the effects of that reduced Color palette…I can also see that my 64 color GIF Graphic is going to consume 45K on Disk.…I want you to bear that in mind, because notice all these options that we…discussed in the previous movie.…
