Title: What do you think? bg
Post by: Tuomas on Mon 11/04/2005 18:51:23
It took me quite a while drawing this background of mine with the lousy old "PAINT" in which I'm so keen on!

Yes, indeed it was drawn pixel by pixel... propably not the best (or the least frustrating ) way, but I like my work. In all it's simplicity, I mean.

So, if you will. What do ya all reckon?

Oh, so it appears, I have no idea how to place it here :-[ Mmheeh ???. Uh, I better try and learn these things. youaa, how  does one delete this? Bugger!

Well, you cant, a mod would, but to insert an image check this page, you need somewhere to host the image, in the art forum there is a thread of places taht will host your work for free.

From one finnish person to another.

- First, upload it to an image hosting service. Like www.photobucket.com or http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/upload/upload.html

- then copy the link to the image. and type [img]http://www.ihavemypictureontheinternet.com/pic.png[/img]

- I recommend using .png as image format, since it has virtually no quality loss and a good filesize. .bmp is not accepted.

I think GIF is the best for file size though.

PNG certainly compresses better than GIF in general.
Notice that GIF don't support any colour depth higher than 8bit, so when you convert a, say, truecolour image to GIF, it's degraded to 256 colours, so it might look as if it's small, but actually details were lost.
For 8-bit or less images, you can still save them as indexed colour PNGs.

If you are posting an image you drew by hand, there's no way you used a complete palette, and simply saving with an indexed palette of smaller size makes far greater difference than your choice of compressed file formats.
