Graphics on the net can be yours with a simple click of your right mouse button on them, but beware of using copyright material. There are many sites that encourage your use of their graphics, often in return for a link to their page. A scanner, although not essential, sure is a neat toy to have around your home or office. Granite will scan your picture, get it internet ready and upload it to your user area for you. Contact us for prices.
File size is important when publishing graphics on the net.
It's easy to create beautiful graphics with the right software and a scanner, but it's a real talent to reduce those graphics to a size we surfers are willing to wait for. A general rule used by webmasters is a 20k maximum size for graphics with a 100k maximum for the entire document. Icons should be as small as possible. Logos are tricky. You want a logo to be crisp and clean, but if it doesn't load quickly, many will never see it.
