Converting pics

[Conan Edogawa]

Hey guys,

I really need to know how I really handle a fresh made screenshot so that you can get a good pic with maximum 100K and about 800x600 (don't ask me why ).
I have Photoshop CS2 and always had a trick how to convert them so that they looked great and no-one could see that my AA isn't set, unfortunatly I forgot how to do it...

Thanks for the help,

You can resize and give it some motion blur but besides that I wouldn't know. But my best tip is: set you AA to 4/6X because it'll give you a whole new FS.

And to make your shots crisp @ 100k use 'Save for Web' and use the slider to get it as close to 100k (~ like 98.87KB or something~).

Irfan view is (imho) as good as photopshop for re-sizing etc. and its free bonus

I didn't install only the ATI drivers, not the setting board (or what it's called in english). Because without the board I have almost enough ressouces for FS9. And with AA, my FS9 world looks blurry to me (at least on my notebook).

Is there a way to convert the pics so that I'll have a good quality pic even within only 100k fileweight?

I don't know what you mean, but nor PS or Irfanview can rebuild the textures for you, it's to be done within the sim.

Well... you could try taking the screenshot in the highest possible resolution and then sizing them down to 800 px wide. This will get rid of some jaggies. If you have photoshop, try out different sampling modes and see which one works best.
