could someone point me to the rules for pictures regarding size and dpi?
I'd appreciate it. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | HereAs for size I believe it was mentioned in a thread that the size would be restricted to 500 X 700 or which ever was the greater. But dpi is mentioned in the above link. Steve |

| | Posted: | | | | DPI doesn't really matter but the scanned DPI does affect the initial image size.
If the image exceeds either 500 pixels wide, 700 pixels high, or 200,000 bytes in size, it will be recompressed. |

No wonder, I got no votes on some of my contributions, they were nearly 500K it must have been compressed a lot. Does anyone know what compression algorithm Invelos uses? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | When i create images i get the right dimensions then save as a JPG with as little compression as required to get under the 200K line.
Initially i would then import the scans from within Profiler but i noticed they got reprocessed and my 195K scan was now 270K, which meant when submitted it got re-processed again to push it down < 200K.
Now i save the original to the appropriate filename, <upc>f.jpg or <upc>b.jpg, and copy it straight into the database images folder.
This should avoid any extra processing...i hope. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | That's a good idea Tweeter, I think I'm going to start doing it that way instead of pasting into DVDP. |

| | Posted: | | | | @tweeter: Did you paste it into DVDP or did you use the "open file" menu? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | I copied the JPG from a temporary folder straight to My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images. A simple Windows Explorer Copy & Paste.
Doing the File|Open (i referred to it as "import" in the prior message) re-processes the file and it ends up bigger than the file started with and over the 200K limit. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | When scanning I edit the existing cover art and scan directly into DVDP at 600dpi and then resize it within DVDP. |

In the file menu of the cover editor is a compression entry. If you have it at a 100% and use file->open does it re-process it? | | | Karsten
