Hi All
I still using X5 as at present it suits my needs. The one issue I do have is that when i do web banner (any size) if there is a solid background the text becomes slightly blurry. How do i keep it crisp when put onto the web site as it looks fine in Corel Draw and even looks fine when i re-open the PNG file. To see what i am talking about have a look at the site www.chitterchatter.co.uk.
You can mainly see it on the red iPhone banner, the iPhone logo is blurred.
Regards Paul
Hi, here's your example:
Yes, that's bad... but you're doing the right thing by asking about why.
The jpeg compression is too high. Black should be black too.
choose 4:4:4 subformat.
Plus.. some images could be paletted and will be sharper, clearer and smaller file size due to the run length encoding used in GIF/PNG paletted schemes.
if you upload your CDR of some images we can show you how to get better results.
I've been able to export from Draw directly with good success, I'd like to try for you and then show you results and settings to get there.
Also make sure no images are being scaled with HTML later, they should almost always present 1:1.
Keep getting an errror message when i try to upload it here. The issue only happens when i have text on a coloured background. If I have it on white it appears fine.
Hi Paul,
I suggest you put the color in the background of the div using css and put the text on top. You can use real text streaming in OR transparent png with only the text.
Without wanting to sound too stupid, css? Plus what does real text streaming mean. Sorry :)
HI Paul, Look at this site "http://pudgesbluebell.com/"
Notice directly under the nav bar you see a red "div" with the text "Proudly serving customers for over 40 years."
The text is embedded into the site using css3, here is the code for this font:@font-face { font-family: 'Federo'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: local('Federo'), local('Federo-Regular'), url(fonts.gstatic.com/.../4U6MlhO4EXR36XAHof-Qyw.woff2) format('woff2');}
The background of this content "div" is red using css to color it. Here is how:
developer.mozilla.org/.../CSS3
In this case there is no images at all on this example and it loads real fast with crisp text.
Many thanks for all your help with the banner.
This seems way to technical for me, as i no control on the actual web site. When i open the PNG on my desktop the banner looks fine. Is it then a web site issue rather than something I can do when i save the file?
Maybe the site itself is converting uploaded images to JPG, or the person in charge of the site is. Are you handing the graphic over to another human first?
