PNG Help

[GamerMax5]

I'm using a PNG for some of my graphics for my web site. I want to use them because the quality of the image is awesome. But when I set the background color of the image to white or transparent in my image editor, even using CSS, the background image is like an alice blue or a very light teal. I don't want to change the background color of the page (I tried but I can't find a hex color to match it). Can someone help me with this or suggest another format that might work with the same image quality? Would TIFF's work?

"Image quality" and "website" don't mix very well - you can create a 300 DPI image (print quality) and use it on your website but all you'll accomplish is to greatly slow the page load time..a 72 DPI image will display just as well in a browser due to browser limitations. Also, there are color limitations associated with browsers. Your graphics program should have an option for "use web safe colors" - you'll have to use html color codes in order to get the page color to match the image color.

I don't want to change the background color of the page (I tried but I can't find a hex color to match it).

As far as this part, take a screen shot of your page. Get into any paint program with a color eye dropper thing and select your background color, then use that color as your background. This should make your background and image look the same always (as in if a broswer doesn't like the color in the background it won't like the color in the image and it will mess them both up), but some broswers will mess up only the image and you might still notice a difference.

Let me know if you don't know what I mean by color eye dropper.

Thanks for all the help. I took the original layout of the image and tore it apart and used each part seperately. I still use the PNG format and I fixed the background color problem. Thanks!
