I didn't think this belongs in the Photoshop Q/A so I will post it here.
I have a banner in Photoshop which is 300x100px in size. But when I upload it to Tinypic, then post it as an image on PokeCommunity, it is squished a little bit and it looks all blurry.
I have tried saving it as both a Jpeg and a PNG file and both get squished.
Help please?
 
Try uploading it to Photobucket. Tinypic might actually make things tiny xP
 
Yeah, best to go with Photobucket or ImageShack.

Never tried uploading anything on Tinypic myself. :x Since PB and Imageshack are rather popular.
 
Hmm I just uploaded it to Photobucket and tried posting it again here but it still looks all blurry and a bit small...
It is either something to do with PokeCommunity, or how my computer views it.
 
Hm.. Maybe you should post the image/link and then screenshot what it actually looks like?
 
Screen shot also needs uploading to the internet. .o.'

Try using imageshack.us

Also save for web and save as have slightly different colour and other settings.

Try using save for web.

Also it could be your browser. My firefox makes the colours brighter and gif images are faster than when viewing on safari.
 
I think it's an option in photoshop.. Isn't it? :x

Argh, beaten. XD;
 
Oh ok I will test that out now.
EDIT: Ok I figured out what it is. When I am on PokeCommunity, the default zoom is like one less than normal so everything shrinks including my banner. That was the problem, thanks to you two who helped me out!

Not a problem, sometimes that happens to me too because of the roller button on my mouse and holding down ctrl. XD;
 
Hey all.

I need some pokemon renders. Not like Sugimori or Arkeis, but like the ones Aizuke/Closer uses. Could you link me to it?

Post some of the examples you're talking about, that why we can try and rule out what you're looking for exactly.

I'm guessing the one used in this banner. hope you don't mind, Closer
 
Um... hi! Well, I have a problem with my Gimp. It's just that even though I'm a latino, most tuts are in english and I'm actually more comfortable using it in english, so... how do I change it to english? Also, for some reason, I can't seem to make clipping mask, even though I follow all the steps in the tutorial. Any ideas?

Thanks for your wonderful contribution, Thomas. /o/

To change it to English, these instructions should work:

C:\\Program Files\\GIMP-2.0\\lib\\locale

Delete all the folders that do not start with en_ Then start your gimp and see if the language has changed to English? WARNING you will not be able to change it back to Spanish if you delete all the other folders.

It worked for someone else, hopefully it will work for you.

Isn't this the Graphics Lounge? Did I click on the wrong link? Was I offtopic? You were talking about gimp, so I made my comment on the program. BTW...sarcasm doesn't suit you...so don't wear it.
