JPG vs.GIF vs.PNG

Hello to everyone (John Asensi =D). Today's article will be about three exchangeable image formats.

JPG or also called JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) which is the name of the commitee who made the standard, it is a lossy compression technique that is designed to compress color and grayscale continuous-tone images. JPG images support 16 million colors and are best suited for photographs and complex graphics.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format). Unlike JPG, the GIF format is a lossless compression technique and it supports only 256 colors. GIF is better than JPG for images with only a few distinct colors, such as line drawings, black and white images and small text that is only a few pixels high.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics). 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.

Desktop Publishing


Desktop publishing (also known as DTP) combines a personal computer and  WYSIWYG
 page layout software to create publication on a computer for either large scale publishing or small scale local  multifuction output and distribution.
The term "desktop publishing" is commonly used to describe page layout skills. However, the skills and software are not limited to paper and book publishing. The same skills and software are often used to create graphics for point of sale displays,promotional items, trade show exhibits, retail package designs and outdoor signs.

How to make a Screen Shot

How to make a Screen Shot 

Well, the Screen Shot is a very simple tool. It permits us to take instantaneous photographs of our computer screen without the need of any camera, it is a photo taken by our computer. But we have to be careful, when we press the Print Screen button, it will take a photograph of the WHOLE screen, only if you press alt+ print screen, it will photograph the window you are in.

  The last step you have to do is to open a program in which you can download it such as paint or photoshop. Just clic paste on a new file and there we have a very pretty Screen Shot.

History of world blogging by alejandro fiz

Blogging started far before than internet blogging. This was used in the past to write personal thoughts, beliefs and things which happened to different people. The word blog actually comes from the word Weblog which was shortened in April, 1999 by Peter Merholz. After that, in July, the first free blog was launched and that started the era of the blogs in the modern world. After pyra, google bought the blogging system, myspace was launched and ebay launched ebay live blogging.

  My conclusion is that we presume of modern world but blogging is something historic which lots of people used in the past and the only thing the modern people have done is putting it in the world-wide net.

My summer holidays

My summer holidays were very good. First of all, right after finishing school, I went to Marbella, where I spent two weeks basically doing nothing and going to the beach and the swimming pool the whole day. After spending some relaxing time there, I went to a camp in England four weeks and there I watched the entire world cup. After making lots of new friends and having lots f fun there, I came back but after a week here, I had to leave to a scuba diving camp in france. After two weeks speaking the whole time french, I came back to Bilbao where I spent the last days of my really good vacations. After all, my vacations have actually been quite good.
