 |
|
Hi guys. I am having trouble with the quality of my logo. I had a professionally done one and I am trying to upload it to my website. Problem is they only accept .jpg .jpeg and .gif. Now I need it to have a transparent background so it blends with the header of the template, so I must upload it to the admin panel as .gif.
Now the problem is when I save it as a .gif in Adobe CS4 the quality gets butchered and it looks really choppy. This doesn't happen in .jpg or .jpeg mode.
Help!!
Thanks and much appreciated for reading. |

Hi and welcome to the forum cantstop01. Perhaps you are not saving the GIF with enough colours, try including more colours, it could just be a dithering effect due to a limited palette.
Are you opening/editing it with Photoshop? (I presume so).
Just out of curiosity, what kind of web host do you have that won't allow PNG's or a million other formats.
Save for Web (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) Does your settings look anything like this? Obviously settings will alter depending upon the image. Don't understimate the usefulness of pre-sets either

Thank you for the response.
My settings are as follows. After an hour experimenting it's the best setting I've found. |

This problem has been solved, thank you for the help!
I ended switching the Matte to foreground color, and the diffusion to 75%, don't even really know what that means but it worked Lol.
Thanks!
