Default when changing png colors - interlaced?

Hi! When I change the colors of a png file with my paint bucket and go to save it, it gives an option for interlaced or not. I'm using PSE.

What does "interlaced" do for you?

tia!

Glad you asked, I've never known either!

Interlacing is done for web graphics. It has to do with how the images load on a web page. Noninterlaced images load in rows while interlaced images load with random pixels in each row, so they begin by looking blurry (low res) and then sharpen as they load. It's done so when you load a webpage, you can see the contents at a glance, but as the page loads, it becomes sharper.

Interlacing increases file size, so I always choose no interlacing on my .pngs.

Hope this helps

Didn't know that - I never bothered to fidn out. Excellent explanation, Sarah!

Ah we're blessed to have experts explain things to us (me!) in plain English. Thanks Sarah!
