Select layer 2 (should have black border sort of thing) 2. Inside the image, select all (try CTRL+A) ,copy (CTRL+C) , and paste it to a new grayscale 128x128 image.

Kriegz Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Cris, the whole guide works very well and I understand it all but when you get to mvp edit and click on the picture you want to update, I click on new picture and then i get something that says runtime error every single time i try to do this. :banghead: Any Ideas? P.S. when you successfuly update the photo in mvp edit does it also update the .fsh file in the portraits.big file or do you have to do that seperate?

krawhitham Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 plus The portrait photos need REDUCED by 82% vertically and NONE horizontally. starting with a image 99x118 and making it 128x128 you LOSE quality Portrait is 227x277 at 1600x1200 182x236 at 1280x1024 146x178 at 1024x768 114x139 at 800x640 91x111 at 640x640 Now if you do all the math in order to get the best quality portrait you have to take an image that is 128x154-156 and resize it to 128x128 with Constrain Proportions UNCHECKED I find it easiest to start with your image. Remove the background and then reduce the size of the image by 82% for Height make sure you finished all the tweaks you want and CROP and or use the Canvas Size tool to make your image 128x128 If you need to reduce the over all image size to make it fit into 128x128 use image size but now make sure Constrain Proportions is CHECKED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegz Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 This way seems easyer if he answers my"P.S." question but I got it to work and there are no gray borders... JACKPOT Thanx Cris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACKPOT Thanx Cris Yes, after you're done in MVP Edit, it will update your portrait.big. So after you've done the whole set, you'd export them using EA Graph or BigGUI,etc. The reason I don't save them as .psd and use fshed is becuz it wil leave a gray border around the portrait.
