When to Use These Images

We include several formats for each image. Each is useful in specific situations, described below:

EPS
This is a high-quality vector image format and can be used in most desktop publishing and page layout applications, such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. Due to its vector nature, it can be resized to any dimensions without any loss in quality.

WMF
This is a vector image format and can be used in all Microsoft Office applications (Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, etc.). Due to its vector nature, it can be resized to any dimensions without any loss in quality.

GIF
This is a bitmap image format that is ideally suited for use on the Web. Due to its bitmap nature, resizing is not recommended. Also, GIF files are limited to 256 colors, so they are most useful for low-color images such as logos.

JPG
This is a bitmap image format that is ideally suited for use on the Web. Due to its bitmap nature, resizing is not recommended. Unlike GIF files, JPG files are not color-limited, so they are most useful for high-color images such as photos.

A Note about Resizing Images

We have noticed in the past that, occasionally, an image will be resized incorrectly, resulting in distorted proportions. To prevent this from happening, please ensure that you "constrain proportions" when resizing any of these images. Most software does this when you hold down your keyboard's Shift key while resizing.
