Optimize Graphics for
Web Use.
|
|
|
Even
today, a large number of people are using dial-up connections with
slow browsing speeds. People do not wait around for websites to
load. The importance of this factor cannot be emphasized more when
one is talking about a business website. You do not want to lose
a customer because your website takes ages to load.
|
| |
|
You
may argue that it is impossible to have a graphic intensive site
to load fast. That is not true. All you need to do is optimize your
graphics for web use. What optimizing really mean is that you compress
the graphics so that their size is smaller. A compromise has to
be made between the quality of the graphic and its size.
|
| |
| You
can either use a graphic program to optimize your graphics or
you can use one of the FREE web services. |
| In
Photoshop: |
Click File
Save for Web Use
You can optimize your graphics by trying different settings.
The results are right in front of you so you can compare the
before and after scenarios
|

or call images from anywhere on the web and edit them freely
with the dozens of tools they offer.

Time so save them to your own computer
You will have to tolerate a few pop-ups. |

The JPEG Wizard Online Optimizer is a free service and allows
you to optimize images online
The JPEG Wizard Application also offers the same compression
optimization capabilities as the online version but also offers
an easy to use WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) interface
for merging multiple images, creating watermarked images,
adding text to your images seamlessly, regionally compressing
images, and seeing what the result are immediately in batch
or single processing modes.
