November TCWEBDEV Meeting Notes just geek talk, sweet beautiful geek talk. The tcwebdev meeting last night was all about graphics, discussion led by Justin Heideman. One up and coming graphics format is jpeg2000.  It has a better compression algorithm than regular jpeg and the main advantage is smaller file sizes.  Mozilla has a plug-in for it, but IE and photoshop and other programs will not recognize it yet.  If you want to open a picture in jpeg2000 format, download the free irfanview software. Finally learned why Fireworks likes to save images as png files, because saving them as jpeg over and over again increases the loss that the compression brings.  PNG24 is lossless, so you don't have that problem PDF:  A reason to buy Adobe Distiller is that it can compress PDFs smaller than other software.  Color Suggestion to visit Target stores to take pictures and get good color combination ideas for web sites.  Or buy a $5.00 color guide book full of pallettes     5:41:00 AM    comment []
