Save for Web
I find that many people opt for full transparency when applying images/graphics to their forums. This is fine, if that image hasn't got any curved areas. However, Opting for full transparency when dealing with curved images results in that image having a jaggy border showing around it which makes that image look taccy and rough around the edges.
I find that using the matte Dropdown menu in photoshop and picking the appropriate colour background that the graphic is being applied onto eliminates the rough graphic which has become more commonplace. Using this method, will result in smoother more higher quality displayed images.
Lets Begin!!
You have your image/graphic completed, and you are ready to save and apply that image to your forum and/or website.
1. In Photoshop. Click
File scroll down to
Save For Web, Select and click.
2. Now that you are in the
Save For Web menu. Follow the instructions showed in the screenshot. Bare in mind, that the color you choose for instruction no
2 is the colour of the background that the image is being applied onto.
(Screenshot Below)
Finished. You should now have a smoother nicer looking image applied onto your forum or website.
