    I can't see the original TIFF in IE 6.0 running on Win98SE either. If I saved it and opened and viewed with a photo editor I probably could, though. Same deal, apparently....

    Hey Earl,

    There may be other programs that work equally well. I have to have Photoshop for work so it isn't an option. I would expect Photoshop Lite would be all that you need. It is significantly less costly than the full package and sometimes comes bundled with scanners and such.

    Widget et al,

    PhotoShop Lite - Thanks for that,, I had thought about that program quite a while ago.

    Do pdf attachments typically display in your browser(s) or are you forced to download them to view them ?

    I primarily use Netscape 7 on a PC with XP and I have to download. It is a bit of a pain.

    Pdf's don't display directly in the forum window. Acrobat gotta be open, so I right click and "open in new window" unless I want to save it, in which case, I download. IE 6.0, Win98 SE.

    Either way, somewhat of a PITA. It's a given that Acrobat will ultimately (maybe hours later) hang the computer. Too much crap open concurrently here, usually....

    Thanks Widget / Zilch

    _______________________Just to continue displaying my ignorance about such things ;

    - Does that mean there is no such thing as a browser plugin ( supported by Adobe ) that will display their pdf files within the popular browsers ?

    - I have looked searched the typical sites from time to time but have never found it ( them ) / but that doesn't mean much.

    - A great looking pdf file of the above graphic is only 40K / which is why I ask .

    Yes, install Adobe Reader and it will show pdf files in IE

    Yup, Thanks Giskard !

    I do have an older version of that plugin ( Netscape ? ) that works on the Mac.

    I see what Zilch is talking about ( I think ) the plugin actually calls Reader to boot up and handle the imaging responsibilty. Goofy .

    Yea Zilch, If I keep Acrobat open on the Mac , it'll eventually "Hang" the computer.

    Nice to know that Adobe treats both platforms with equal disdain .

    Yeah, and every little tweak they do is a friggin' 2-hour download on dialup. LOL

    Adobe is easily one of the worst software companies to ever plague the planet.

    gif

    since this image has few colours i would use a gif. jpgs are for really for multicolour photos.

    gifs with an optimised colour pallet for that particular image/graphic will always be smaller than a tif and smaller than a jpg as well for the same crispness levels.

    it is standard practice when designing websites to use gif's for all graphical elements (especially when you need transparency as well) and jpg's for the pretty photos.
