marchlikjm -> .gif, picture quality (9/8/2005 18:17:41)

I am using frontpage. I have a logo I created in paint and saved it as a Jpeg. The picture has bright vivid colors. When I insert it into the web the logo shows up with the correct colors but the colors are bland and dark, no longer flourescent looking. I tried saving it as a .gif and reinserting it but it still happens. What is the best way to insert graphics into your web while still maintaining high quality.

When you "insert it" are you letting FP compress it? If you get a dialogue box asking where to save it after it's inserted then FP has gotten it's hands on it and FP isn't a graphics editor.

Saving it as a gif may wash out any cool colors as it will only render 256 colors. You could create a custom pallet for a select 256 colors but I've always found that to be too much work, preferring instead to save as a jpg.[;)]

One possibility for keeping the original quality is to drag the file from your HD into your image folder on your FP site and then placing it on the page without letting FP touch it (no additional compression). Do you have another image editor besides Paint to optimize the graphic first?
