Manipulating Photos Using
Paint Shop Pro
This module is a brief
introduction to the subject of manipulating photos for the
web.
At the end of the module, we have provided links to sites that
explore the topic in more detail.
The Internet is a medium where file size is important, especially
with photos. If the photograph’s resolution is too high or
the image too large, the download time for the picture will take
too long. With most end users having a 56k dial-up connection, it
is crucial that your Web page loads as quickly as possible. To insure
that your photos don’t slow down your audience viewing time
it is best to enhance, compress, and optimize them. There are many
tools for preparing your photos for the Web. We are going to look
at Jasc's Paint Shop Pro.
The first thing that you'll need to do is go to http://www.jasc.com/
and obtain a 30-day trial version of the program. (This may already
be installed on your
WIT computer.) Note
that your computer
needs to meet the minimum requirements for the program, as described
on
the JASC
web site:
After you're done downloading
and installing the program,
let's take a look at the basic Tools
you'll be using.
