Graphics/SOTW Discussion Thread Options

[Hazanko]

ok, since the last sotw discussion thread has been unpinned and closed, we're starting up the second runnings for it!

this forum is a little different than the SOTW discussion thread, being that it containts not only sotw but other graphics happenings.

things you can do:

• Discuss the next SOTW theme.
• Discuss another designer's current sig.
• Discuss the entries and other things SOTW related.

things you can't do

• no flaming other members.
• if you have a complaint with a member, don't litter the forum with them.
• keep negative, combative, and/or hassasing comments to a minimum
• not complying with XS rules(sig dimensions, multiple images, etc etc.), will get you warned.

alright, so hopefully we can continue this new beginning with a little more fun!

if everyone here uses photobucket, you can just save images on quality 8(there isn't barely any difference in quality versus 12). and then we can just "th_"image-name.jpg it. just for everyone's knowledge who didn't know, you CAN go into the photobucket settings and change the max image size to 512, versus 256kb. and when you're at the quality selector in photoshop, if you look at the bottom of that window, it will tell you how large the image output file will be. all of my "mastering the pen tool tutorial" is hosted on photobucket, at a wopping 500x4450 pixels, and at only 357.51 KB (366094 bytes). you really can't see any quality degrade, http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c127/Haz...thepentool2.jpg . if we use the photobucket's "th_" trick, in conjuction with saving it with a little bit of a lower quality, then this should work fine.. if i'm not too lazy when this contest is over, i can host a simple html page/images on DD, so that you can see all of the photo's next to each other, in full size.

plan?
