My Avatar
 

Can anyone tell me why my new avatar is in worse quality than my previous one? It's the same image and everything, I used the same program, everything. The only difference is I added something to the image and for some reason, on the forums, it's in worse wuality than my previous.

Image quality? Because it's a gif and it's limited to 256 colours

Because you made it.

Yeah, when you upload them they're converted to GIF and look shitty.

It wasn't perfect even before, as OANST pointed out

No, it's the same quality as the previous one, which appeared in more quality than the new one.

Just like his sigpic. I mean, look at the pixelation on that slig!

Being dicky has apparently become too mainstream for me, so I'll stop criticizing for now

Lookit this poser right here.

I think you'll find that's aliasing.

When I compare both my avatars on the forums they look different qualities.

What program are you using to save the GIF?

Because it probably is lower quality.

Now, let's say that you saved it as a jpeg at 90% quality. So your first image was 90% of the theoretical 'perfect' image. Then you took that image, made changes, and then saved it at 90% quality. The new image is 90% of the first image, and thus 81% of the 'perfect' image.

MS paint is the only program I know to compress GIFs like that. It seems to be the origin of the myth that GIFs are awful. I've never had any issues with the GIMP or Photoshop.

I haven't played around too much with the nifty features in Photoshop, but I know the GIMP handles GIFs really, really well.

I probably saved the previous one at 90% but this one I saved at 100% to make sure. It's still low quality.

I thought your name was pube penny the entire thread.

No, it isn't even spelt like that. :P

I pronounce this as 'poypbeenie'. Am I doing it right?

I've always subconsciously pronounced it as "poopbunny".

I always pronounced it Pub Benny, but now I'm going to call him pube penny because Daxter made me laugh.

I never cared.

Nice. :)

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think that jpeg compression is slightly lossy even at 100%.

I have never seen a jpeg saved without some kind of visible difference from the original non-jpeg.

Save things as PNGs. It will change your life.

Also, what program are you using to save it?

Actually, while we're on the subject, My sigpic is slightly lower quality than it used to be, andi haven't done anything to it.

When you were away for a day, we hacked into your account and changed the sigpic into a cartoon drawing of a penis, and we kinda messed up this current picture while we were reuploading it

Oh, you guys http://www.ibrony.com/file/pic/emoti...ault/derpy.png

Ah.

Paint.NET

Sorry for double posting but I've done it! :D

I checked what file my previous avatar was and saw it was PNG file. So I merely saved the slig one as a PNG file and Alf's your uncle. It's done. :)

Now I know there's something different here...
