I agree.

The old thread had become a bit derailed.

I've isolated the applicable posts (fortunately there were no awkward references to them) and given the new thread an appropriate title, but you should feel free to suggest another if you had a better one in mind.

Okay, let the show continue!

Sure my friend

When saying the 2nd picture you mean just the Amiga? I'm guessing this is for a Windows computer so no need to reduce the colour depth etc. but what resolution would you like?

turrican9 · 17 March 2016, 23:30

So the one with black bars was working on my 1200. The other one showed nothing. I only got the copper background for that one. DamienD, maybe you could try to make them in 256 colours or more and I will try to let my workbench scale them down to the colour depth i set. The quality was not horrible, but could probably be better. Thanks!

I looks okay but a bit too washed out. Logos looks better though. The background that comes with Classic WB advanced I think are made from at least 256 colours or much more because they have excellent quality even in 64 colours. So would be nice if you could try to make these with at least 256 colours or even much more. To see how it works. Also, the aspect ratio is perfect as I am using 640x512 for my Workbench

In The Zone! now there are the following:

a) Amiga_64colours.zip (reprocess of the "Amiga" only wallpaper in 64 colours / IFF format)
b) Amiga_Wallpaper_256colours.zip (both wallpapers now in 256 colours / IFF format)

Unfortunately I can test / see on a real Amiga so you need to be my eyes on this. Not quite right, let me know I'll try different processing options

The Amiga only, both 64 and 256 colour versions are still not showing up. The other ones are showing up. And the 256 Colour version looked quite a bit better when I set my Workbench to 256 colours

turrican9 · 18 March 2016, 00:01

The 64 colour version with the black bars and logos actually looks quite nice as a background for my Amiga 1200

See "Arnie_Wallpaper.zip" in The Zone!

Awesome

Can you take a piccie so that I can see roughly how it looks?

I don't know what to say here; I created both using the same program; Adobe Photoshop and applied the same process after sizing correctly; changing from 24/16 Million Pixel depth/colours to either 64 colours or 256 colours...

I wonder how they would look if I left them in the original colour depth but you then used the Amiga to "downscale" so to speak?

Arnie · 18 March 2016, 09:02

Excellent!! Thank you

Nibbler · 18 March 2016, 14:53
