-- PNG is the Portable Network Graphic format. It is an open standard, not burdened by patents (like GIFs). It is a highly compressed format (though not "lossy" like JPEGs - lossiness allows files to be much smaller, but introduces 'mistakes' in the image when saved), and supports 24-bit color (16.7 million colors) as well as a full "alpha channel" - that is, each pixel can have a varying degree of transparency.
- -- For more information, visit: http://www.libpng.org/
- -- These features (openness, losslessness, compression, transparency/alpha) make it the best choice for Tux Paint. (Tux Paint's support for the PNG format comes from the Open Source SDL_Image library, which in turn gets it from the libPNG library.)
- -- Support for many colors allows photo-quality "rubber stamp" images to be used in Tux Paint, and alpha transparency allows for high-quality brushes.
- -The following is a very brief list of ways to create PNGs or convert existing images into PNGs. -
- Excellent tools with which to create PNG images for use in Tux Paint are GIMP and Krita, both high-quality Open Source interactive drawing and photo editing programs.
