Ninjakreborn Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I started on my website, I have created a logo in .psd but when I create an image link, it doesn't show up, I imported it into fireworks, and changed it to jpg, because photoshop wouldn't let me, then I could see it, but for some reason it looks pixelated, and of bad quality, I will admit I just recently started using photoshop, I don't want to be a graphic designer, but I am trying to learn enough to do.logo's, backgrounds when needed, banners when needed, and general photo manipulation, I have learnt a lot just working with my logo, but I ran into this problem. Thanks. and a .psd file is so heavy, it is going to cramp up my web page's load time, and that is somethign I definitely don't want, as with .jpg, .bmp(i don't like using this), and .gif(don't much care for this either), it doesn't do that. Even in fireworks a .swf file(that and flash) even have a less of a size that the .psd, what should I do with this, to still retain the quality you can only get from photoshop.[b]MAJOR EDIT- I have completely fixed the problem. I was unable to switch it to jpg, and other types of formats because I had the rgb set too high up to be able to get that format. I lowered the rgb, and .jpg, and all the other familiar ones appeared there. Thanks.[/b] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8978-about-photoshop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 you should be using "save for web" in photoshop to adjust your image quality and size for web work. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8978-about-photoshop/#findComment-33378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmgmyr Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 You should also try .png I've noticed that those files have the best quality on websites. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8978-about-photoshop/#findComment-33385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I tried playing with theme some but the overall size seemed bigger than jpg That is why I opted to jpg, and when they are optimized I still see the same results.

Ninjakreborn Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Why can't I get any vector based images to appear on the website. I try to use any extension(other than flash files), and none of them work, including the direct photoshop extensions, it allways shows a big X until I switch them over to jpg.

Ninjakreborn Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 so if some browsers don't support .png then I need to avoid those as well. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8978-about-photoshop/#findComment-33545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 They support PNG, just not transparency and opacity in those browsers. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8978-about-photoshop/#findComment-33553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 there is also a right and wrong time to use certain file types. .jpg should be used for photographs or high resolution images, .gif should be used for images with less colors and gradients. I've never really worked with .png, I prefer to use .gif. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8978-about-photoshop/#findComment-33627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
