Images: Looking good in Director

Final illustrations, graphics, buttons, and icons are created using the prototype screens as a guide. A number of software tools are available, but don't discount traditional art methods.

Copyright issues abound. See the Copyright link for further discussion.

The images must be optimized for use on the Web to decrease files sizes and improve download times. The number of colors, palettes, resolution, format, and size are addressed. The final files can be converted to GIF or JPG (JPEG) formats, or you can use the following file formats:

Image file types supported in Director 7x

BMP GIF
JPEG LRG
Photoshop 3 and later MacPaint
PNG TIFF
PICT Targa

Windows only

 PhotoCD PCX
WMF Postscript
