Good girls and boys having seizures:
Murder increased the avatar size allowance, and we should promptly change our avatars to take advantage of the extra twenty pixels we get (within two weeks, he said)! =O
If you want your avatar resized, but you can't do it yourself, just let someone know; if you provide the original image that your avatar was made from, your new avatar will look even better!
Rye mentioned in <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/feedback-forum/121579-because-were-good-girls-boys.html">the other thread</a> that she's willing to help, too!Originally Posted by Del Murder
Rantzien is also helping, I believe!
Because the KB allowance hasn't changed, here are tips for saving an avatar that's 80x80 and within 10 KB:
For transparency on EoFF you should be using PNG-8 or GIF. PNG-8 has slightly better compression last I checked for much the same quality.For those using Photoshop and not ImageReady, use the Save For Web/Device option to get a good quality .gif or .png. I save all mine as PNG-8 and they are all under the filesize constraint and still pretty
GIF is used for animations, duh.
JPEG is used for just about anything that doesn't use transparency(it generally has a better color palette and can be set up to fit within just about any size limit/quality).
PNG-24 is used for complex transparencies that look bad on GIF(you can build around it if you know GIF's limitations but for most people complex transparency is best in PNG-24). However, good luck getting PNG-24 images in under our size restraints. It isn't all that difficult to end up with a small signature with a simple transparency that is 50+kb size. And I have seen PNG-24 signatures that width and height wise would fit here that possess 300 or more kb in size.
PNG-24 is also used for any image if size doesn't matter. It is a standardized loseless file type that is readable in practically any software(unlike many loseless file types).
