5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless classic. Still the best web graphics book ever., 27 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book is getting on a bit now. Over four years old, but in my opinion, still the best graphics book available bar none for those working with the web.

If you want to learn how to use a particular graphics package, this book isn't for you. But if you want to truly understand images, learn what makes a good image, understand the intricacies of different output mediums, be it print or screen, and discover how to cope with numerous web browsers, each with their specific capabilities, then this book is definitely for you.

Colour models, bit depth, resolution, dithering, anti-aliasing, compressions, interlacing, it's all in this book.

Perhaps you are a web designer and want to really understand the technicalities of the images you are creating, buy this book. Maybe you are a web enthusiast, creating your own web site, buy this book. Even if you are a complete beginner and thinking of moving into web design, buy this book.

All you need is Web Designer's Guide to Graphics PNG, GIF & JPEG.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Book of Choice on Web Graphics Theory, 26 Oct 1997
By A Customer
Timothy Webster provides a superior treatment of web graphics fundamentals, using clear and practical examples. Writing for both Windows and Mac, his Web Designer's Guide to Graphics first lays down a tight review of graphics file formats, monitors, color models, bit depth, resolution, palettes, anti-aliasing, compression and interlacing. Not stopping there, he gives pragmatic examples of when to use PNG, GIF and JPEG formats.

The book's one major weakness is that many of the color screen shots used do not hold up well when printed. The occasional ineffective 1:1 screen shot is used to point out details which would only be recognizable if printed at the same size as its screen display counterpart. This problem, present in many of the current web design books, could be easily resolved by zooming in on the screen to show the slight differences in detail.

That being said, out of all the many books that are available on web graphics, there are none that I've found which are more comprehensive and accurate than this one.
