Picture Quality Help

[dj asakura]

Hello,

I've been trying for awhile to figure out a way to not get the warning about a blurry picture to show up when I import a picture to put on the custom tags.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me in making the picture more compatible. I want to order these speaker tags as soon as possible but I can't get the warning to not show up.

Thanks

I've read the first one and have seen the second one, but I have no remote ability with photoshop or anything so I have no idea how to change the file size or dpi.

I guess I'll just have to try and ask someone to do it for me.

I had no experience with GIMP when I did a SF4 Fightstick TE replacement art and plexi. It took me about 5 minutes to learn just about every basic function, such as layers and resizing. GIMP resizing is fairly high quality(Allows for cubic and Lanzo scaling. Stick with cubic, its more than good enough). GIMP recognizes a .PSD

Probably the best way to go around it would be to open gimp, then do File>Open image as Layer or Copy the image in paint and edit>Paste as Layer in GIMP. Order the layer on top of "add artwork here". Imo its easier to use your own layer than the one already there.

To scale the image, right click on the layer you pasted and "Scale Layer". Viola you are done.
Reason why Paint, and other simple programs don't scale properly is due to no real "algorithm" for doing so.

To hide layers all you need to do is click the eyeball, besides the obvious removing them.



Also something you should know about scaling, you should use a video player which allows you to use "Bicubic" scaling. It will make lower resolution videos much cleaner and enjoyable to watch. MPC-HC has an easy to use setting for this.
