thedragonking82 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi Guys, Idiot with a nooby question. Whenever I'v changed a Screenshot from .Bmp to .Jpeg to upload in the Image Share I always loose quality quite badly, even with theGame settings on Ultra (Athough these look better but my PC can't handle this for serious play) . Most every other image posted by people looks quite sharp and mine look quite low quality. I open in Paint and save as a .Jpeg, Is there a better way of saving as a .Jpeg but not loose quality?I have GIMP but not Photoshop If its another program you guys use. Can anyone give some info on this, it's bugging me :(Thanks, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 GIMP can do it of course but I imagine it would be a pain to use for that purpose. I suggest IrfanView. It has a batch conversion tool that will let you convert multiple files at once, quickly. FastStone Viewer also has batch-conversion and has a better image-cropping tool than IrfanView.

My screenies arn't the most imaginative but I take quite a few, also when I went to upload 1 or 2 I noticed how bad they looked. If anyone has anything else to try, I'm all ears :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiries Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Paint destroys images when you save it as a jpg. Use GIMP. Simply use "save as" and change the format in the title from .bmp to .jpg. It will then give you a quality prompt. 100% is obviously the best, but sometimes you may have to drop it a bit to reach the 1.5 mb minimum Nexus upload restrictions. Depends on your resolution and picture content. But yeah, if you have GIMP, get used to using it. Does a great job saving images in .jpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiries, Tyvm for your advice, Paint is about all I have any knowlage useing and thaught .Jpeg were always that quality but I see now takeing evilneko's advice and useing FastStone Viewer The .Jpeg's I converted with this were realy good quality. (check my profile to see a few or look in the image share at how good I'm able to get the screenies looking now) I'll use that from now on and will look into the fetures of GIMP and better my knowhow. Thanks Guys, your help has truly made my day. Thanks again, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
