--- Ken Said --- The problems I see with this whole thing is this: A pic, when rendered from vector with a decent editor, anti-aliases differently at different sizes. Every time the thing is scaled you loose quality (unless you are just really, really lucky). So, making bigger pics is easy but they are only loosely related to other versions of the same pic (when it comes to the anti-aliasing) and therefor not the best determiner as to the quality of anti-aliasing. ---
_Anyone_ who has done art in a digital medium knows this. What I have suggested is that you scale the image after you shrink it merely for viewing in the proper aspect ratio. Further, what we are talking about here is 80 lines of 1:1 resolution stretched from the 640x400 antialised image. If you use even the most rudimentary of scalers, it should approximate close enough. Again, the 'stretched' version is what the final usplash will be based on. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. It simply makes viewing what it will look like in the final product one step closer to reality. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
