how do I do that? The frame says to give debit permissions.what does that mean? While a TGA file saved from Photoshop will treat the alpha exactly as it should.I have an existing frame given to me and i would like to insert a snapshot that i have taken into the frame. PNG’s saved in Photoshop do not always respect the alpha exactly as it should. Do not always respect the alpha channel properly. PNG if not using a alpha channel as some programs while amazing at their job. So saving at lossless format (PNG,TGA etc) at 300 dpi was the preferred. The encoding done on uploaded images at time of this entry was JPG2000 at 72 dpi. So its good to save the initial file at 300 dpi to ensure the best possible upload. You also failed to mention that it is not just resizing that SL does. To me that does not mean ‘each’, because only 2 being referenced. It makes it seem like you mean left, right, top, bottom. Bias and ignorance of a format does not create acceptance and preference.Īlso there is only 2 directions, you do not need to say 2048 in each direction.

It is NOT a recommended format for ANY moderate/serious photograph (regardless if SL or RL). JPG is naturally a lossy format meaning you lose information by saving to JPG. PNG even at the time of entry (2012) supported transparency … Yet was noted it did not. Don’t forget to contact me and tell me about the pictures you have taken. In Firestorm the upload function is in the Build menu.

  • Display it on a prim or frame which honours the original aspect ratio – 1.4 to 1.0 in the case of a 2048 x 1453.
  • Upload them in SL – it is resized to 1024 x 1024.
  • Scale them in GIMP so that the biggest dimension is 2048 pixels – typically this makes a picture 2048 x 1453.
  • Edit them in GIMP (add signatures, borders etc).
  • I would suggest you plan your picture sizes before you upload into SL, and then – if you are unsure use the Temporary upload feature to see whether the uploaded image is right in world. It is critical that you are aware of the re-sizing the SL does – and how it might distort your picture for you.
  • SL will resize any picture to the nearest power of two – i.e.
  • Any file bigger than this will be rejected – files are then resized to 1024 on its largest size.
  • SL limits image uploads to a maximum of 2048 pixels in each direction (horizontal and vertical).
  • Now that you have chosen your file type – what size should you use. They are regularly usedwith clothing and building textures (windows for instance), and would be cool with some types of picture. you can make them see-through and SL has less problems with TGA files.
  • TGA : Like PNG files they are uncompressed, and they support Transparency (i.e.
  • PNG files do support transparency but under some cases, SL seems to have an issue with PNG files with transparency.
  • PNG : These are good files for retaining details (such as in diagrams), but not as good for photographs, especially if you planning to resize them.
  • Also because of how JPG files are compressed, they are not good for diagrams – use PNG or TGA for these. JPG files don’t support transparencies (which you might want to use in some places in SL – buildings, clothing etc) – if you need transparency – use TGA. I would recommend that you do the resizing in GIMP or similar – and not in SL – stretching images in SL is not the best feature. In general JPG files can be resized a lot without nasty pixelation or jaggies.
  • jpg : Great for photographs or textures in SL.
  • The different files have different uses and in some cases some are better than others.

    SL supports three different file types : jpg, png or tga. You need to know about file types and file sizes. Now that you have your photograph – you might want to upload it to SL – so you can show it off on your profile – or maybe display it in your home.
