- Hi All,
-
- First of all, with respect to WWW page design, what limitations should I
- keep in mind (IE. file formats, colours etc) when creating graphics and
- textures for the web? Also, how does Netscape (and others) handle a web page
- with 2 16.7 million colour palette JPEG's and a series of 256 colour gif
- buttons? Does it remap all of them to match a single colour palette of the
- same depth as the system it's being accesed with? If that is the case, is it
- best to stick with 256 colour (or less) gifs all with the same palette to make
- graphics more efficient? I've seen a web page (designed by a friend) in which
- the individual images look spectacular but once on the page together, they
- look grainy.
-
- Second, are there any programs (either stand alone or as features within
- another program)or tables to convert Pantone colours to RGB? At work I tried
- selecting a Pantone colour in CorelDraw 4.0 as a fill colour, then I changed
- from the Pantone palette to an RGB palette and recorded the RGB values. Then,
- I took the colour values over to our SGI and the resulting colour was nothing
- like the colour I was looking for.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
