John MacLeangood article on use of png format transparency in web design
-
Besides being a freely available format, PNG offers several practical advantages over GIF for the web designer:
* Greater compression: For most images, PNG achieves a smaller file size than GIF.
* Greater color depths: PNG offers truecolor up to 48 bits, whereas GIF allows only 256-color palettes.
* Alpha-channel transparency: Whereas GIF offers only binary transparency, PNG allows for virtually unlimited transparency effects by enabling an alpha channel for transparency. -

Dan MaoThe PNG image has been widely overlooked by the web design community—and mostly for good reason. Until recently, it hasn’t been possible to take full advantage of the format and have it work reliably in all browsers. But, with proper PNG support in Internet Explorer 7, and some handy JavaScript and CSS tricks to account for older browsers, we can use PNG images to greatly enhance our design vocabulary.

What if I wanted to place my personal logo on all of my photographs? Yes, it’s possible to open each image in Photoshop, apply the logo, and resave the image. However, this becomes terribly impractical when dealing with thousands of images that are frequently updated—and sometimes updated when I’m nowhere near a computer (for example, when I send photos to Flickr via my cell phone). Wouldn’t it be nice if the logo were added automatically? PNG can help do just that.
