Title: picture to non-picture advice needed. warning! semi-big file
Post by: Matt Brown on Thu 29/05/2003 21:47:35
okay, first I'd like to say I'm sorry for posting a bmp. I saved this file as a gif and a jpeg, and it got all messed up. the picture is tiny anyways. I hope


right, here is a sprite from the game I'm making. I'd like to change this horrible picture into a more orginal-looking sprite without the photo. Can anybody help me? any particular way of going about this? (

the bigest thing is to make the head normal sized, yet still kinda looking that way.

EDIT: whoa, didn't know that was gonna happen. sorry, call me stupid. if there is way to save it in a smaller format and have the colors stay close to normal, could somebody let me know? I dont want to suck up bandwith or anything

save it as PNG,it doesn't mess up the picture with compression artifacting, gif will only mess your picture up if it's more than 256 colours

Nope, use BMP or PCX instead. But when you post a picture on the internet, better use "web-friendly" formats like JPEG, GIF or PNG.
