Medieval Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) Yes - some of them are big files. Some of them are bad, my most recent is the Dragon's River. Also, I'm new! Edited April 16, 2010 by Medieval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm725 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice and welcome to the forum. I will save barbieq some work and say this: Always work at 4x your final size and resize down later. Optional is a Gaussian Blur of 2. Also, be sure to keep everything in layers and save a .pdn file.

csm725 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Yes, png is the best. But lets say your final size is 800x600, resize (Ctrl-R , Image>Resize) it to 3200x2400. Do everything, save as a .pdn file to preserve layer information (just incase you wanna edit later), flatten, and resize back to 800x600. This looks much smoother and I recommend doing it- it is a healthy habit for multi-core processors .

Sozo Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Welcome to our wonderful Pictorium Medieval. I hate to be a raincloud but according to the rules you cannot attach pictures for your Gallery in the Pictorium. You can however use a hosting site like Photobucket, Imageshack, or Tinypic.

barbieq25 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Medieval, welcome! You know what CSM725 said? It's absolutely true. Many of the tutes tell you to flatten at the end. I learnt not to do that because if you've missed a step or want to change something like colour or position, it is sometimes hardly possible. You will learn what works best for you. This system worked best for me & may others too. Be aware though that working in such large file sizes some of the settings in the tutes will not be correct & sometimes it will take forever to do a render or effect. Bit like an ad break on TV - go make a coffee or the bed or start the washing up. BE SURE to SAVE often - sometimes working on such large images you may run out of memory & the system will crash & you WILL lose EVERYTHING that was not saved. PDN does NOT do background saves. That's why we have CTRL + S Love to see some work from you. Once again welcome! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.
