Abstract

From the Publisher:The World Wide Web is loaded with graphics. All of the major browsers support a variety of graphics formats, and millions of images are available for downloading. Getting your hands on these images and viewing them, however, can be a nightmare. This introductory guide explains the most common graphic file formats encountered on the Web and helps you translate them into a format your computer can use. Although this book focuses on the three main graphic file formats - GIFs, JPEGs, and BMPs - you'll find many more covered in detail in the first section of the guide. If you want to re-size, colorize, or otherwise alter your images, you'll find helpful information in the second section, Viewing and Editing Graphics. You'll also find a chapter devoted to Graphic Workshop for Windows, the program that's on the accompanying disk. Bestselling author Judi N. Fernandez addresses uploading and downloading graphics - in a straight-forward and clear style - in the third section of the guide. And when you're ready to show off some of your own stuff, you'll find handy tips for displaying graphics on your own Web page.
