	PNG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PNG was created to both improve upon and replace the GIF format with an image file format that does not require a patent license to use.
		Version 1.0 of the PNG specification was released on July 1, 1996, and later appeared as RFC 2083.
		PNG is a better choice than JPEG for storing images that contain text, line art, or other images with sharp transitions that do not transform well into the frequency domain.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/PNG (2947 words)

	Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Specification (Second Edition)
		PNG decoders are strongly encouraged to use this information, plus information about the display system, in order to present the image to the viewer in a way that reproduces as closely as possible what the image's original author saw.
		PNG standardizes one filter method and several filter types that may be used to prepare image data for compression.
		PNG compression method 0 is deflate/inflate compression with a sliding window (which is an upper bound on the distances appearing in the deflate stream) of at most 32768 bytes.

	Benefits of the PNG Image Format
		The PNG format was developed when it was discovered by the entire development community in early 1995 that the GIF image format uses LZW compression, technology which was patented in 1985 by Unisys corporation.
		The images on the left are the original PNG's, the images in the middle are JPEG's that were created from the original PNG overlayed onto a background, and the images on the right are JPEG's that were created from the original PNG and overlayed onto the same background as the table.
		PNG interlacing (formally known as Adam 7) begins by only reading a small percentage of all the data and filling in the empty spaces with an interpolated color value.

	[No title]
		PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive display option.
		PNG permits multi-sample pixels only with 8- and 16-bit samples, so multiple samples of a single pixel are never packed into one byte.
		PNG allows the encoder to supply a suggested palette in a PLTE chunk, but not all encoders will do so, and the suggested palette may be unsuitable in any case (it may have too many or too few colors).

	Portable Network Graphics
		PNG is an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images.
		Viewers for PNG are available on many platforms; there are an increasing number of content creation tools available; and thus modern browsers implement support for it also.
		The official PNG home page is maintained by Greg Roelofs and includes a frequently updated listing of Web browsers that support PNG (including plug-ins), helper applications, and content creation tools (both interactive editors and conversion tools).

		Whereas PNG supports alpha transparency, GIF only supports binary transparency, which is a big limitation and has a couple of important implications.
		The PNG home site, for instance, talks about a few other obscure browsers that should support alpha transparency, but that haven’t been verified yet.

	PNG Tips for Cartoonists
		PNG compression is lossless, which means that unlike JPEGs, there is no degradation of image quality when you save a cartoon.
		PNG is an Open Source image format, so you can use it however you want.
		PNG's transparency is actually more flexible and powerful than GIF's, but unfortunately, this is not yet handled consistently in all browsers and platforms.

	Webopedia: JPG vs. GIF vs. PNG
		PNG was developed as a patent-free answer to the GIF format but is also an improvement on the GIF technique.
		An image in a lossless PNG file can be 5%-25% more compressed than a GIF file of the same image.
		PNG builds on the idea of transparency in GIF images and allows the control of the degree of transparency, known as opacity.

		Portable Network Graphics (PNG) was created in response to the GIF licensing debacle and is optimized for graphics use on the Internet and other on-line services.
		PNG supports image depths up to 24-bit and provides a better lossless compression than that found in GIF files.
		PNG has been accepted as an image standard by the WWW Consortium and is slowly being integrated into the major web browsers including Netscape and Internet Explorer.

		PNGs were introduced to replace GIFs, perhaps in part due to patent issues with the GIF format.
		A transparent PNG is not dependent on the background color of a web page to look good, but adapts to whatever background you put it on.
		This is evidenced by the lack of widespread PNG use (because if you don't use the alpha channel transparency, there's little point in using a PNG over another image format).

		PNG was created in response to the decision by Unisys to begin demanding royalties from produces of products that support the GIF file format.
		PNG is designed to be royalty free, primarily by virtue of the fact that it uses the free zlib engine to compress image data.
		Note that the source code for this book includes an independent implementation of a PNG codec, which may be one of a kind.
