Picture Question - 6/14/2006 23:38:00   
Is there a program that take an image and makes it into several pieces so that it can load quicker on a webpage?

what is the best way to break an image down for this?

it isn't necessarily going to load quicker as it might still be as big as one picture overall and there is the added time of the request to the serve for each slice of the big picture. it may seem to load quicker as the first sections would load before a complete, unsliced picture would.

you gind it worth slicing up if some parts of the picture contain just text/logo and would therefore benefit from different compression (i.e. gif rather than jpeg). without seeing the thing you're thinking of slicing up it's hard to say whether it's worth it or how best to do it.
