A Frontier Virtual Flight I was doing before the early morning sunset came up..



Let me know what you think

Great shot! Would be even better if it was sharper/less 'jaggies', is that how it appears in the sim or due to resizing and so on?

Compression hurt this one badly...

No my sim is fine its the resizing..  :-/

I use infranview but it still compresses it alot :-?

Why did you compress it so much? Your image is less than 30 Kb. You're allowed 150 Kb.

I found my problem..
When I resized it, it was set on faster load and not slower load and best quality..
I still had to resize it the normal edition was like barely over the max..

So now let me know what you think

It's still only 33K. Way under the 150K allowed.

Still way below the limit. No point in trying to improve the first shot you posted. You need to go back to your original uncompressed screenshot. If you're using Irfanview you can adjust the amount of compression from the File/Save As option. This is a matter of guesswork & might need several goes to get right. It gets easier with practice.

Alternatively you could use a different program for resizing/saving shots. Magix Xtreme Photo Designer 6 is free & has the same Save for Internet option as expensive software like Photoshop. This tells you what the file size of the saved image will be at different amounts of compression.


There are other similar free graphics editing programs available.

Yes! Thank you so much for that link!

For IrfanView, mess around with the quality of the JPEG you save.

Quality from 85-98 should do the trick (different for every shot).
