Techniques of Image
Manipulation
Most of the time, we just
capture an image and upload
it on our Facebook account.
From there, Facebook does
the rest by formatting our
image to best fit the standards
set by Facebook.
But once you run your own
website, you will have to edit your
images. It seems a simple task but
you have to strike the balance
between the right image quality
and the time for the page to load
these images.
Personal website do not
necessarily have to downsize the
file size of the images. But If you
have a wider target audience,
you need to make the necessary
changes. Here are some tips to
help you edit your images for your
website:
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILE FORMAT
Try to make a real-life
photograph into GIF to see the
difference between PNG, GIF,
JPEG. Knowing the purpose is the
key to finding out the best file
format.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT IMAGE SIZE
A camera with 12 megapixels
constitutes to a bigger image size.
Monitors have a resolution limit, so
even if you have a million
megapixels, it will not display
everything. Thus, it is not always wise
to make our image big, most
especially in a website.
Know how much space you
want the image to consume. Or
have a “preview” image where
the audience has the option to
“see full size”.
