About this title

Synopsis

Creating Your Own Web Graphics was written for people who are not designers or graphic arts professionals. The CD includes Paint Shop Pro Shareware and useful graphics utilities.

Review

Paint Shop Pro, a raster-based painting and image editing package, is popular with Web designers for several reasons. The package's batch conversion features are useful for converting multiple files to JPEG and GIF formats and, with support for over 30 file formats, the package has a lot of flexibility. Paint Shop Pro also has simple but easy-to-use editing and painting tools. But best of all, it's a shareware package that costs only $69 when you register. The new Paint Shop Pro 4.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT, which is the version covered in this book, offers new special effects, improved masking and color enhancement options, and support for more image formats, such as Progressive JPEG, Macintosh PICT, and PNG with transparency.

This book covers both basic and advanced techniques for creating attractive, effective graphics. The authors teach you how to use the package's painting, drawing, and image editing tools to create titles, buttons, and bars, as well as transparent GIF images, image maps, and GIF animations. Along the way, you learn about scanning in photos and keeping your images small. The book is a good buy even if you have little or no experience in creating Web graphics, using Paint Shop Pro, or designing Web pages. A CD includes the shareware version of Paint Shop Pro, a GIF Construction Set, and buttons, bullets, and other Web graphics.
