Coding. Need a bit of help.

Hi all,
I am going to be doing a website for a friend. He is already cracking on with the designs on his comupter at work. He wants to know does he save them as a jpeg file so then I put all the pieces together.

Just need some advice on it.

Thanks to all if you reply to my message

 

Yes, pretty much. But the coder will have a better idea of what to slice/save than the designer.

 

I am going to be the coder.

 

I mean you should do the slicing, not the designer.

 

oh right ok. But still JPEG files are ok to save them so that I can put them all together.

 

Yes. He can save it in JPEG and you just slice it or make it a background and use CSS for position of links, etc. Mouse over or Roll Over Buttons..

 

depends on the design I would go for png and jpg images

 

You should do .gif because it has smaller file sizes and loads faster

 

png will be smaller than gif. Use png and jpg.

 

.jpg seems like a far better quality to file size ratio in my experience. .jpg with 70% on the quality scale in 'save for web' (in Photoshop).

 

If you are coding a site you should know this already.

But if you are new and just learning, I suggest you check this out:

You can use the software to split a .jpeg. You will still have to add a lot of HTML and so on.

 

Yes you can do it but some also depend on the design and the coder how he will do it.

 

well if your talking about quality then .png has the best quality, .gif just has small sizes and pretty good quality (if you set the colors to 256 in gif settings you'll get a similar result to .png)

 

Quality to filesize ratio, not quality.

 

a i see we got a debate going on here lol well you could think of it either ways, quality or file size
