Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 9:46 pmI think the big part of the challenge is finding a suitable program that will compress screenshots without losing too much quality.

Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 11:55 pmphotoshop i think is great...but its photoshop.
i had 60 or 70 layers on one PSD then to try and get it down to 150kb it was a doozey but i managed it, try reducing the size say to 900px or 1000px wide it helps.

That way I both achieve excellent quality and can see the whole shot without scrolling

Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 8:10 pmWhichever software you use for compressing/saving your images the secret is in selecting the best method for resizing them. Options vary depending on the software but can make a big difference to the end result. I suggest experimenting to see which works best for you.

Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 10:15 pmI believe there's freeware software for creating HDR images if you want to try it.
Would you happen to have a link for that?

I had one once but I dumped it. I found it on Google. It might have been a trial version. :-/

[color=#000000]Thanks, but I just realized I don't have the system or hard drive space. I'm beginning to think I can't afford 'Freeware' FS9 stuff. Yeah, it's free, but the system to run it all and the hard drive space ain't free. I got down to just over 10 gigs of free space earlier and spent a hour or so moving files to CDs. And I still have only 12.3 gigs free space.
