How to Choose Image Files for Your Web Site

No matter how great the content on your Web pages, it seems that images attract the most attention. The keys to optimizing images so they download quickly from your Web pages are

• Cropping and resizing images to display well on a computer screen

• Choosing the best format:

  • GIF or PNG for line art and images with limited colors, like logos and cartoons

  • JPEG for photos and other images with millions of colors

Photoshop Elements includes a Save for Web feature that makes it easy to optimize any image and save it in the best format for your site.
