If I may suggest something, you should do more than resize an image. It looks quite squeezed and you may be able to represent the subject better by selecting only a part and/or reworking the whole image.

 

[Roman Legion]

My gratitude for the advice, but it really is not squeezed; It is what it looks like in the original picture. Nonetheless, I shall take your advice into consideration next time.

 

[Supa]

Well, all your recent Star Trek techs look a little squeezed to me. Especially LCARS. They're not bad but I think you could do better.
And, no, it's not what they look like in the original picture, I google too. ;-)

 

[Roman Legion]

I'm looking at both on two screens, I really see no difference. but I will keep your suggestions in mind.

You should look closer because he is right.

Here they are side by side.
You reduced the width by around 30% 179x128 vs same image in 128x128

 

[Roman Legion]

I have another pic lined up for this, I will make an alternate one to go with this.

 

[Bjornlo]

I think you could do a lot to keep things from looking squished with a little cropping and photoshopping. Making an alternative is probably not needed unless you already felt like doing one.

I was pointing out the 30% squish only because you said you did not do it and could not see it.

 

[Roman Legion]

I used a program called Pixresizer, what would you suggest I do to keep this from happening?

 

[Bjornlo]

Well, I would suggest using photoshop (or similar) and not an automatic resizer. You can crop out bits of the image and still have it work. You can also paint over parts which detract from the main image.

 

[Roman Legion]

hypothetically, if I were to recreate this, what part should I focus on, and crop?

 

[Bjornlo]

Hmm, two options.
1: black out the extra stuff and add black above So, in this case the focus could be on all three main objects.
2: focus on a single gel pack and paint/crop as needed to make it look good while filling the space.

Like so. . .



And the actual file needed for the tech chooser if you like. . .

I would have stayed at the centered view and just cut off more from both sides like here:

You will loose the effect of the three seperate gelpacks next to each other but it still gives a great picture.

Very Nice COAtlantis1745, Very nice indeed!

Very Nice COAtlantis1745, Very nice indeed!

Your welcome, Lieutenant

 

[Roman Legion]

Yeah, I'm up for a promotion, to become a Full Lieutenant. Also COAtlantis, do you make unit sounds, as your custom title indicates? If so I have a job or two, which requires your skills.

Yay! I finally reached 300 posties!

Congrats on your promotion. Come and visit my website then won't you?

Sure can help with the sounds. What do you require?

 

[Roman Legion]

Well I would like some unique sound for my Roman Cavalry unit, the Standard Cavalry sounds just do not fit it too well. and My Atlantis unit needs sounds, but nothing fits it either.
