Themes - les Artworks - Perte de qualité

[doohan]

Bonjour,

Je me demandais comment conserver la qualité des png créés avec Photoshop pour faire les Artworks (boitiers DVD 2D ou 3D) dans les themes.

Hyperspin à tendance à légèrement agrandir la taille par rapport à ce qui est affiché sur l'écran dans Photoshop et avec une perte de qualité....

J'ai entendu qu'en convertissant en flash, il n'y  a pas de perte de qualité.

Quelq'un a déjà essayé? ne peut-on preserver la qualité en png?

 

Merci ,

Also if you are running a 16:9 widescreen system, you may have to convert .53 on X and .71 on Y to get 4:3 Images that then Convert back to 16:9 correctly.

Hi Bungles,

 

I'm using Photoshop and resize of 25%. Artworks have good size but quality is not as good. maybe a good idea to convert in flash?

I've heard that it prevents to lose quality...

 

Thanks and regards,

Yes Using flash and the smooth option can help.

Dark13 has some Flash scripts out there that make it very easy to use. Just run and choose a folder containing png files.

Some scripts convert from 16:9 to 4:3 and Smooth others just smooth and convert to swf.

You can edit the scripts via text editor if you want to adjust the conversion scales/ratios.

i.e

        // get item        
        var bmp_lib = doc.library.items[imported];
        bmp_lib.compressionType = "lossless";        
                bmp_lib.allowSmoothing = true;
        var bmp_tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0];
                 
// Scale from 1080p to 1024*768 and apply 16:9 ratio correction (Can change these values .53 = 53% etc) 
                bmp_tl.scaleX = 0.53333 ;
                bmp_tl.scaleY = 0.7111 ;
                bmp_tl.x = 0 ;
                bmp_tl.y = 0 ;

Thanks Bungles,

 

I'll try this script. Now I see in the script that it is about bmp. Is it he same with png?

 

thanks and regards,

[Bungles]

Yes it does png

Confirmed that it works pretty well..

I just changed my values to still widescreen convert but at a 50% size. 

                bmp_tl.scaleX = 0.26666 ; 
                bmp_tl.scaleY = 0.3555 ;
                bmp_tl.x = 0 ;
                bmp_tl.y = 0 ;

Video preview shows the 50% size version in the SNES Wheel.

Hello, 

 

This the kind of theme that I'd like todo in16:9.

This is the original PSD file linked. Qulaity is much better.

007 - Nightfire (France).psd007 - Nightfire (France).psd

This is the png that I got resized from the PSD for the Artwork 3 (3D box) 007 - Nightfire (France).psd007 -

I see that there are more and more swf files for artworks. I've heard that quality is better than a png file.

What is a simple way with Adobe Illustrator to convert png artwroks in swf artowrks to save quality of those artworks?

Thanks and regards, 

[Bungles]

Yeah the issue it seems is that its expanding the Box Art to match the 16:9 resolution when viewed in Hyperspin.

You need to convert to the right ratio so they expand correctly when viewed at 16:9 resolutions.

I.E

X-Axis=53%

Y-Axis=71%

Hello Bungles, 

 

Thanks for the answer.

I tested something very interesting...No resizing of the picture (except 16:9) and quality stay good.

I think I have to find another way to reduce the size of the 3D boxes artworks than Photoshop to keep quality...

Hi Bungles,

Fizen gave me a flash script that upscaled quality in 1080p and resize in 16:9 in one and it works like a charm.

swf has definitly better quality than png...

Now, I will do all the themes I've dreamed of...

Best regards,

Pour le set gamecube, les boxes ont déjà été faites en flash (animation de la boite qui se retourne pour voir l'autre coté). Tu as la version 16/9 ou 4:3

Merci beaucoup, 

 

j'ai vu mais comme je suis tatillon, en faisant les jaquettes 3D, j'ai vu des défauts dans les couleurs (normal, JSInn a déjà fait les effets et a eu l'amabilité de m'envoyer les originaux en PSD). j'ai corrigé les défauts et fait mes propres jaquettes.

je ferai pareil pour les thèmes que pou la wheel
