Picture Quality Tip

Hi Warriors,

This isn't a big secret or anything but the amount of websites I've seen with fuzzy graphics drives me insane especially when it's graphics that just haven't been rendered properly.

When uploading pictures, graphics etc always save/render them as .png not .jgp, it takes up a few more KB but the picture quality is 10x better.

Most people will already know about this but for the some who don't then now you know

Thanks,
Matt

    Fuzzy graphics give a site an "amateur" feel

    Thanks on the heads up on jpg vs png - I never knew that

    I have to disagree somewhat.

    The level of compression you use with JPG affects the quality. Most of the "fuzzy" graphics you might see will be caused by an amateur using the wrong/too many filters or scaling UP a graphic that starts smaller.

    PNG has its own advantages, as it handles alpha transparency, and therefore can be used to place images on top of a coloured background without the usual tell-tale halo that is given by a GIF image.

    Kindest regards,
    Karl.

      I agree, overall .png is just easier though and it's just easier to get high resolution pictures compared to .jpg images.

    I think the only real advantage in using png vs jpg is transparency when needed. I have used a lot of jpgs and never had an issue with fuzziness unless the client sent me a crappy image to start with.
