smaller pic size plz!

well its been a long time since i posted something on the wc3 forum but as you can see im still around.

i love to wander around on the model/skinning section, some modsections and ofcourse the concept art corner. i must admit ive seen some really nice drawings and conceptart but ive got to nag about some things.

first: please resize your pictures to a nice size. ive got a cable connection so its not that it takes a long time to down them but for the people who havent its pretty anoying. the thing that does is the fact that i dont have a 19" monitor (ive got 17") and therefore i can often dont see the whole picture... also: a big picture is often less of quality than a small one.

second: this might sound stupid but try to draw your stuff on a white page... not your schoolpapers etc :bgrun:
it just looks a litle ammaturistic if u get what i mean.

for the rest, three thumbs up! theres really good talent here and if ud like to perfect your drawings maybe u can check some nice tuts etc... just to give it that extra edge

I second it all!! I never do this...but

*bump*

Yes, I agree. People should keep their pictures relatively small, and maybe give a link to a bigger one elveswhere if they wish to do so/show it.

*stickyfied*

Yeah they should.

Rock on, man. Smaller pics rule!!!:ggani:

I agree. There isn't usually any reason for a posted picture to exceed 800 pixels on the long side, unless it is very detailed of course.

As for filesize, Photoshop has a save for web function, which can reduce the filesize considerably. You do not need to save pictures in high quality for web view; save that for print. Pictures intended for web are usually safe in a quality setting of 40 or less.

The blue line bit, if the picture itself is black and white, you can solve the problem easily. Scan the picture in color, and crank the saturation to near maximum (maximum if need be, but sometimes strange visual artifacts can result). Having done that, remove the blue channel. There you go, no lines. usually . . .
