Nice Screen Shot if you want it.... (collectors item! going fast!)

[Train]

Its a big file, could only save as BMP on this computer, but anyways, feel free to edit it,

its a shot of the top 10 teams overall and top 10 today along with some TA text at the top, if you have a good paint program, please convert this to gif and post the link, feel free to put better text at the top as well, thanks, Train

Nov 15th Screen Shots

This one is a bit smaller in size...

In .jpg format
IE Screenshot of top team daily

And... for Train - His original HUGE bmp in a kinder, gentler jpg format

 

[Train]

thanks Dan, but the one i had had both screen shots without all the IE stuff, could you get both on one Jpeg? or convert the one i made?

 

[DanC]

Done... see edited post above.

I think screenshots tend to be smaller and look better in .gif

TA's best day
Top 30 users for 11/15/00

The Feds best day

Interesting take on that one....

jpg is 172K
gif is 227K

display is the same. Just a guess, but I'd say the jpg is smaller.
However... somehow you've gotten it to 50K... hmmmm

 

[LeBlatt]

Yes, Dan, if you make the gif from the jpg. Try making the gif from the bmp. So ?

 

[Adul]

Its called optimizing danc.

Have someone tried to convert those pics .png? If I understand right png is quite effective format.

 

[DanC]

Silly me... I never knew that one. Thought it converted from jpg nicely.
Thanks for the tip guys. I'll not claim to be too old or too experienced to learn something new.

.png is actually quite bulky, although slightly better than .bmp. i personally prefer converting everything to .jpg using ~65% compression. it generally brings down files from 250k to about 70k, which is much more manageable, and the quality is hardly compromised.

I usually convert my screenshots from 2.25MB bitmaps to 464KB 24bit pngs and then convert that to a jpeg with just a little compression on the bar for a final result of ~120-220KB with minimal artifacts. It takes 2 steps but the nice uniform patches on colour without blotches make it worth it.

png yelds better quality than jpegs but for me, when I upload a png to Zing, they convert it to a jpeg anyway.
