Web and On-Screen Graphics using Photoshop

Handling graphics for on-screen delivery is one of the most important topics that web designers, graphic designers and presentation developers need to learn. This class is for print designers who are expected to 'make a graphic for me for PowerPoint (Keynote), Dreamweaver' out of some hi-res artwork, and for those needing to produce quick-to download, eye-catching, yet meaningful presentations and web pages. Discover what affects download speed on the Web. Learn the difference between GIF, JPEG, and PNG files, and how to decide which one to use for your images. We'll explain how to decrease the size of your image file without sacrificing image quality, and we'll show you how to use a large image in presentation programs or on your Web page without increasing your page's download speed.
