Any secrets for compression from those that do run & take shots at high resolution?
When you take a screenshot at high resolution, there are some rules to convert it to JPEG:
- first: you must use a serious tool, like PAINT.NET or Gimp. Not the default MS-Paint included in Windows...
- second: you must first resize your screenshot to 1024 wide, before doing anything else.
- third: when you sae your screenshot and choose the JPEG format,you should then be able to see a slider or an option in the save popup that will allow you to thune the compression. You have to select the smallest possible compression that will not exceed the filesize limit here at SimV.
That's all.
I'm a low-rent hacker when it comes to screemies. I just use VSO Image Resizer, set the first parameter to what I think it should be for the job at hand, resize it and go! That's what I do with any images you see of mine-- nothing else...
