Okay, this is kind of a strange challenge, I think, and I have no idea what is leading to it.
I created the logo in GIMP and I made the sides of the image (around the actual circular logo) a selected colour so may well match the qualifications colour. However, after i look at this specific in IE, the background and the edges of the image never match. It appears perfect in Firefox. The image colour Will be the same colour for the reason that background colour–they tend to be both set for you to #330847.
You are able to look at it here: http: //www. esharpwebdesign. com/designs/kiki/kispirit/index. html
Any help can be greatly appreciated!!!
I did a bit more poking, and it appears like the colour is actually fine when saved as a gif, but the actual image itself appearance bad, especially the circle… Argh.
You’ve encountered one of two major problems using PNGs in Net Explorer.
- Alpha blending (variable transparency) does not work properly in IE6. IE7 fixing this.
- The color gamut is wrong in all versions of IE, transparency or not. I believe IE will render the PNG a little bit darker than it it imagined to, so the problem becomes visible if your edge of a PNG is often a solid color and directly close to the " same" coloring; IE will render them as a little bit different colors, and an edge becomes visible. The sole reliable solutions are to not use a PNG so they can use one such until this edge doesn’t turn out to be visible.
Thanks for your reply. A friend with mine found a method to make it bode well in GIF format, but trying in order to duplicate what she did thus far isn’t working personally simply because I have no idea of GIMP well sufficient yet…
It bears mentioning that it may be very difficult in making a PNG bode well in GIF, since PNGs may not be indexed (by default) and for that reason have a considerably wider color range. You might wish to look into screenplays that automate PNG transparency hacks for IE, including the one at this web site. There are, obviously, also others.
