PNG file

Hi,
I've gotten some graphic .PNG files recently. Would somebody please
tell me the advantages or disadvantages of this file system?
TIA,

Re: PNG file

And, the one big thing about PNG is the alpha transparency. That is the one
thing that is really needed for the web. So since IE doesn't support that I
see little reason to use PNG for the web. Shame really.

Which is a rather severe con, IMHO.

Re: PNG file

As long as you don't use alphablending for transparency in PNG images,
IE displays PNG files correctly. So IE supports PNG, but not the
complete feature list ;-)

Re: PNG file

Files in PNG can also be (much) smaller than JPEG, it depends on the
contents. For photos use JPEG, for line art/screen shots use PNG (or GIF).

Re: PNG file

Files can be larger than the same image in JPG. You have to decide if lossy
compression is a problem (jpg) or if you really need the loss-less
compression (png). If IE was to ever support all of PNG especially the alpha
level transparency it would be great. As it stands now you have to install a
plug-in to get that and even that has problems.

In article <755qb2dp7f4ige7uj5rd3sqs47b3i3qnl2@4ax.com>,
Not with transparency. It will display a PNG file as long as it is not a
24-bit transparent PNG, but it does not display 24-bit transparent PNG
images correctly.

IE cannot handle PNG transparancies. PNGs with transparent parts look
like shit in IE.

Re: PNG file

'fraid not. Not in Windows. IE 7 is supposed to when it comes out. I
have 6, latest updates. You need a javascript or other workaround in
your web page to display the transparency properly.
Of course.
