Gif or PNG?

[drak]

If you use GIF you can overlay and create little animations.
but with PNG you can do Gamma corrections and have some what of a better detailed product of an image.

Choices of simple clean graphics or heavy pixelated images?

How many of you use GIF animated Flash products?
Or use a more robust product made for GIF animation?

:rolleyes:

I like to use png because of how well it keeps the quality and you can keep the file size down quite alot.

I prefer to use GIF, I usually convert all my images to gif and very rarely to JPG, but I never use PNG, maybe coz I don't need it's features and GIF's and JPG's are enough for me.

I personally prefer PNG. Image degredation isn't bad at all.
Some what glad that it became a world wide normality.
Since most of my Html building started in the Unix world and creating PNG's were fairly easy to develop. I wish I kept the page I made back in 1995 to show off what I did lol. I've tried looking in the way back engines and haven't found it all.

Oh well. :rolleyes:

Is anyone concerned about Compuserve issues? I.E.- whether they might try to enforce the copyright issue?

Depends on the type of art.

GIF compresses line-art and cartoon-style files a lot better then PNG, and its more widely supported then PNG, not to mention supporting animation and transparancies.

The ONLY time I'd go with PNG is if I have an image with a large single colored area and lots of gradients. You get the best of both JPG (full color range) and GIF (good compression in like colored contiguous areas).

PNG!!

There are browsers that do not support PNG properly.

Netscape 4.x seems to be one. Not all PNG pics I have seen have problems, but some do.

I also prefer PNG in general.

I like GIF animated products, just for the simple reason that they are small files, and easy to upload.

I like Gif too. It's fast to download at the websites and nicely supporting Animation.

I flick between png and jpeg dependant on the amount of colours and detail in the image which sometimes makes my png's bigger than my jpegs. I tend to go with the smallest size I can get without loss of quality.

GIF is an abbreviation for Graphics interchange format is a bitmap image format.. This format supports a 8 bit per pixel..

GIF is quite nimble
