Web Image Quandry
by Faile386 - 11/4/04 8:56 PMOk...I've got a question for people more familiar with graphics than me ^^; I'm making a graphics HEAVY page. It's only going to be viewed by a few people. I could either make the page one whole image, or seperate it into many many smaller images, remove the text from the images, and so on. It would take about 10x longer to do that, however. Would it be worth it to do this?

Are you talking about image slicing or combining many images into one? Anyway, you'll want to optimize the image/s for the web to make download time as short as possible. Removing text which is on images won't help anything. You said it is for only "a few people." In that case, if they all know to expect a heavy page, or you know they all have broadband, etc., there should be no big problem.
When you decide to attract the general visitor you'll have to re-think your strategy.

Not if just a few people are going to visit the site. I would consider saving it in a JPEG(.jpg) file format with 70%-90% compression, although a PNG(pronounced PONG) looks much better than JPEG and rivals the file size as well if saved with an indexed color palette vs. a true color palette. (Depending on the application you use for graphic design, choosing your color index(palette) and JPEG compression options are typically available upon saving the file.)
