Overview: This course covers the concepts and techniques for optimising images for display on the Internet. Delegates will learn basic techniques and concepts about image resolution and methods for reducing file size. Students will also learn about several graphic formats that are appropriate for Web images, and how to choose the best one for various types of images. The course will show to optimise images for display on multiple platforms. Delegates will also use ImageReady with PhotoShop to prepare images for the Web, and will use ImageReady to create animations.
