Does anyone know what the preferred pixel size and file size are for the pictures in the My Models area? I've noticed before that my pictures will be cropped, tiled, or fuzzy. I would like to be able to change some settings and make them look as nice as possible.

700 wide x 500 tall

Also, be sure that your browser is not automatically resizing pics

I'm still wondering about this. It's not a huge problem; I'm mostly just curious. The pictures look like they were sharpened somewhere between my computer and RCU. There are also white dots on some of them. I've tried uploading pictures of different sizes, but no luck.[sm=confused.gif]

Does everyone see this when viewing my pictures or is there a problem on my end?

Thanks for the help,

If the uploaded image is too large, the forum software will resize the picture. It is in this process that you are probably having the problems you see

I just uploaded a picture of my rock crawler. It's 700 x 500. The file size is 115 KB. It has the same problems.

Shouldn't that be small enough?

The image size is ok, but the file size is pretty large, so it's probably knocking it down

That's too bad, I didn't realize they needed to be so small.

I can make them smaller. What's the largest they can be without needing to be edited further?

Don't know, but I have a feeling that they might be reworked regardless of file size.

If you don't want them changed at all, you can upload them to a server and post them right in the thread like this:


But you still want to keep both the image size and file size down so that it fits on the screen and doesn't take forever to load

Alright, thanks for your help; I appreciate it. Now that I think about it, the stock pictures they have are very small. I'll have to work something out.
