The below picture was saved in GIF extension which only has an 8 bit color which equates to at the most 256 colors. I used dithering on the photo to make the colors appear more.



this is a pic saved in JPEG which is compressed when saved. Can you tell the difference in the same picture just by saving by a different extension?

Wow! Good for you. I'm glad you're learning Photo Shop. Maybe I should as well! I've not been around much lately. Computer issues again and I've had some yukky tummy bug. Hope you're feeling better there too!

I can see the difference.

Very clever. Very pretty. Thanks

Thank you Lara. I hope you feel better soon. I've had the flu the week before last and just getting over the cough and congestion this week.

That's a lovely picture Barbara.

I must say that I'm a teeny bit envious as I'd love to learn Photoshop, but unfortunately it's way to expensive for me.

I did see a free trial online, but it would take me far too long to get the hang of it to actually get any good things out of the trial.

I'm doing OK with Photbucket, and another friend put me onto PhotoScape, which is similar.... but I really would love to be able to more than those two programs allow.

Another goal in life for me is to learn to do my own animations.

One day perhaps.......

I saw Photo Shop Elements 6 on sale a week or two ago at Amazon for $60 which is a great bargain. It usually sells for $100 or more. I wish you could get it.

I'll check it out later in the year, even though it'll cost more then, but I do want to get a bit more proficient with the other programs I have first. I might even hint to DD when it's closer to my birthday

I look forward to seeing some more of your work Befuddled.
