Quiz

1:	Suppose that you have a scanned picture of a horse that you need to put on a web page. How big should you make it, and in what file format should you save it?
2:	Your company logo is a black letter Z with a red circle behind it. What size should you draw or scan it, and in what file format should you save it for use on your web page?
3:	Should you save a 100x50 pixel button graphic as an interlaced GIF file?
4:	How would you modify a GIF animation that repeats infinitely to instead play only three times before stopping?

Answers

A1:	Depending on how important the image is to your page, as small as 100x40 pixels or as large as 300x120 pixels. The JPEG format, with about 50% compression, would be best. Of course, you could also provide a thumbnail link to a larger image that is viewed by itself. You'll learn how to use images as links in the next lesson.
A2:	About 100x100 pixels is generally good for a logo, but a simple graphic like that will compress very well; you could make it up to 300x300 pixels if you want. Save it as a 16-color GIF file.
A3:	No. A small file like that will load just as fast or faster without interlacing.
A4:	Using Animation Shop, select Animation, Animation Properties. Click the Looping tab, choose Play It, and enter the number 3.
