huh.gif huh.gif blink.gif

what size is the pixel count in the image its self.

is it over 600 pixels

or is it less then 100 pixels?

dont know what version of winamp your making the skin for i made winamp 2 skins.


but the pixelation is caused by enlargeing a image that has too little amount of pixels to start with.

if your making an image to inlarge it is always best to save it with at least 600 pixels as a tiff image since tiff is uncompressed. you can use bmp but that is only depenet on the type that the program requires.

i think winamp wants bmp or gif.

the same is also true when shrinking the image the more pixels and colors to chose from the better.

you might want to try using ms picture it.

last i heard about 3 years ago they did some trickery with the software that makes the image lose that pixel look when resized that the other programs did not use.

i had thought it was long enoungh now that the other programs caught up but maybe not? unsure.gif

I haven't really looked at psp7, but somewhere in the image resize dialog or somethign there should be an option for resampling, something like bicubic, or bilinear resampling... look for stuff like that.

Actually, you can do very cool things in paint. em320.gif It's just that it takes seconds to get the same result in photoshop. But paint is better when it comes to strait sharp lines and such.

Paint rulz!!!!!!!

Red Squirrel - Feb-25-2004 server time
You should use photoshop and not paint, paint is not that good when it comes to resizing, paint is basically a straight and simple pixel oriented type program so it does not smooth things like photoshop does.
