I had a ball playing with that thing. I hope she makes more!
No, because I was trying to make it look somewhat like me, and what I would wear. HERE (http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p153/olde_fashioned/regencydoll_me.jpg)
Yes, I did save that first one as a JPEG, but it's still not as crystal-clear as a PNG would have been. Here is another one I made, saved as both a PNG and a 100% quality JPEG. Tell me if you see a difference.
PNG (http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p153/olde_fashioned/?action=view¤t=regencydoll_3.png) vs. JPEG (http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p153/olde_fashioned/?action=view¤t=regencydoll_3-1.jpg)
Oh, hm, yes. I see a very slight difference in the coloring. The coloring of the JPEG is a bit duller than the PNG, particularly with the headbands. I wonder if that's why the colors of my icons never save correctly. (I can't save them as PNG, though, in Photoshop.) I always have to take the contrast up a bit more than I want to take it in hopes of having the coloring not be so dull after I save the icon.
Well, if you copy and paste both images as layers exactly on top of each other, then toggle the top layer off and on, you'll be able to see how much sharper and cleaner-looking the PNG is.
Using JPEGs is kind of like cross-your-fingers-and-pray-they-stay-nice! *lol*
I still don't see much, other than the brightness/dullness of the colors, which I see most in her hair and headbands. But maybe it's because I'm on a laptop rather than a desktop computer.
True, it is a bit like crossing your fingers and hoping they stay nice. (: Though, I don't usually have too many problems. I just wish Photoshop would let me save images as PNG. I don't know why it doesn't. *Pouts*
Hmm. Will it let you type in "whatever.png" where you give the file a name? That's how I have to do mine. It's default setting is to JPG but I just change it.
It's not a program -- if you hold CTRL and press PRINT SCREEN that should capture whatever's on your screen, and then you can crop away the extra stuff with whatever you use as a graphic editor, and upload it onto your hosting site. :-)
Well, after much ado and squirming, and going to the control panel-keyboard-Hot Spot Help; *sigh*, I finally accomplished the "small" task of saving my little lady.
Eehh...she's imaginary. Though she's pretty close to what my ideal would be. (I'm on the plus aize).
I have longer hair, and I wish we could have changed the colors around more but, her physical coloring is pretty similar: [fair] skinned; [dark blonde] hair, light [aqua] eyes. And I usually imagine my fictional character as wearing a red headband so I thought it was neat that they had one.

PS. You'll notice I saved that as PNG. But I used my "Preview" program. Maybe I should just settle on a different program for icons, heh.
