So I did a lot of art about a year ago and the one thing I found really hard/what I wasnt able to fix was blury images when I down scaled them and I was wondering how some of the big artists fixed this?

It was normally the horse that looked fine in its original horse, but the minute I made the image smaller to fit the 500×500 it would just go wrong. And the banners would look even worse.

Any help is much appreciate

(And any tricks not related are helpful too)

What do you use to resize

When scaling and uploading the image from GIMP, I’ll scale it down to 500x500 first and then use the “Export As” link instead of “Save As”. I make sure the file is a JPG and then use the quality scale to get my file size right. This normally doesn’t ruin the quality and I only take the file size down to about 90kb for horse avis.

I hope this helps!

Hope this helps :)

Another thing I was wondering was, using gimp, how do I find thd good text?

And best way to do a text Avi?

To make a text avatar in gimp, start off by creating a new canvas that is 300 x 300 and transparent. Type out the desired text and orient it how you would like. Then create a new transparent layer behind the current text layer, and alpha select the text layer (do this by right clicking on the layer in the layer menu, and you'll see an 'alpha to selection' option). Your text should be selected, so go to Select > Grow and grow it by a few pixels. Then paint bucket fill the desired border color you would like to be around the text. Deselect everything, add credits, and wham. Export it as a png then you're done :)

If you would like a more in depth explanation on how to use images as text and such and how to do fancier symbols, PM me and I'll do my best to explain it lol. Hope this helps!
