hi guys, just a quick one really, I am wondering what res people usually create their bg images with for their skins.

Reason is that when I am doing my skins all my images seem to be a little soft or blurry when used within the skin. I could sharpen them up in an image editor program, but they look fine on my pc, but when I use them within a skin through the xbox they look blurred and lose their sharpness, both BG images and icons etc.

Hope this makes sense to someone, I can maybe grab some screenshots if I need to highlight the difference in quality if required.

Thanks
Norm

bout 300dpi but maybe its your TV, TV screens are much worse than Computer Monitors

Cheers Jezz, thing is Im using a dual LCD tv at the moment, which has both my pc and xbox running through it, i simply change channel from AV to PC.

Like you say monitors are generally better anyway, so I guess im just gonna have to live with it, just frustrating when the nice clean images you knock up look a little fuzzy when u put them in your skin. not to worry, we plod on regardless, thanks anyway!
