John Lovell Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 A really nice debut set and on par with all the best screen shot posters here... really nice sky theme too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McAllan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 A beautiful set mate, welcome to the forums! Some fantastic skies to be seen there. Just one thing, it might be worth saving your images as .jpg's instead of .png's and degrading the quality somewhat. Something like 90% quality has an unnoticeable degradation. The reason being filesize - those around here with slower connections will thank you for it! Whilst you're not posting monster 8MB .bmp's the shots here still tip over 1.7MB rather than the 0.2MB a 90% jpg would have. Not being critical, just trying to help out Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinpete Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 thanks for the feedback glad to share them. filesize... d'oh.. you are right... i switched to PNGs because blogger degraded my JPGs automatically after uploading, making them look really bad. mh... i have to try the file hosting which is mentioned in the sticky above. will work on that!

twinpete Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 it seems that it is not possible to edit the main post... :/ i am trying to convert my whole gallery to JPGs now, which will break the images i posted. maybe a mod can edit the new ones in there, if i put them in another reply down here?

twinpete Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 i have to apologize for triple posting in my own thread... but this will be the last... new proper small filesized JPG pictures! (if a moderator would be so kind to edit my initial post, if possible?thankyou!) from now on more PNG pictures for my screenshots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
