Keepin' the peace over San Francisco International. (DESTROYED by compression! It was a pretty shot!) You know what, not even destroyed. It is down the tubes, out the sewers, into the ocean where lobsters are feeding on its remains.



Fun with a UH-1:

One thing that helps me with my SS's (now at least), is setting the Width to 900.


It keeps the size down a lot, even with no compression.

The higher sized screen, the more four letter words describe them xD.

Could part of my compression problem be that I keep my Sim at 1920X1200X32?

I use mine at whateverx1024, then I scale down to 900xwhatever xD.


But that may be so, if you're posting them without resizing.


You really should resize to 900xwhateveritcomesouttobe, as I didn't lose much (if any) quality to my shots due to compression afterwards.

Compression  >:(

Indeed, i always resize mine down to 800x, no problems with loss of quality (i dont think anyway) and they are easy to get just under 150kb. But i always do everything to them whilst they are .bmps, one sorted size wise and so on, then i change to 'pegs. Unsure if it makes any difference, but works for me!

Last shot seems ok however - but whats the black circle in the sea in the third? Are they helicopter landing spot things? Dont really fly 'copters so ive never come across them!!!
