Web Graphics

Minimizing graphics
Web graphics is one of the most exciting elements of the Web. However, it should be used with care. Many Web users have slow connections, and pages heavy with graphics take a while to load. Remember to include the alt attribute in your image tag for users without access to graphics or users who have turned off images. I have prepared a guide to Web graphics, which explains the three graphics file formats: gif, png and jpeg, and which gives guidelines about which format to select.
Paint Shop Pro is an excellent image editor. Use the tutorial to get started.
