What are TIFs, GIFs, and JPEGs? |
||
|
TIFF files are commonly
used to incorporate images into documents for
desktop publishing. Tiffs are
convenient because they may be viewed by numerous image viewing
applications. Tiffs are uncompressed
images that contain more computer information than gifs or jpegs and
therefore usually reproduce better for print than gif files.
|
Gifs are usually better for
reproducing logos or drawings.GIF
files support a maximum of 256
colors, which makes them practical for almost all graphics except
photographs. The GIF format supports transparency and is
compressed. Gifs
can be animated. |
Jpegs are usually better for reproducing photographs. The JPEG format, with its support for 16.7 million colors, is primarily intended for photographic images, particularly for use on the web since the files are compressed and download quickly. Jpegs cannot be animated |

Homework:
Text: Chapter 14 (497-532) Creating Presentations
Read Garr Reynolds' blog entry about good Power Point design:
http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2005/09/whats_good_powe.htmlOpen vista.ppt in 16animate. Design a one-slide presentation giving the pros and cons of the new Vista operating system that was released in January 2007. Things to include:
- Your name, computer number, and class time
- A background appropriate for an informational Power Point presentation (check out the free downloads on the Microsoft Office website)
- At least three "pros" and three "cons" - short quotes from different websites, blogs, etc
- Links to where you found the information
- An appropriate animated GIF that you designed to complement the presentation
- A conclusion about the merits of the Vista Operating System as it stands currently
You may use the example for reference, but do not copy from the slide - the example could use some improvements. (8)
