That sketch gives me hope for Barry's run on the new title... do we have any word on an inker? I didn't really care for his collaborator on EMPIRE, to be honest...

No word on an inker just yet. James Pascoe did the inks on Empire. I found it OK
That was a pleasure to watch him work on that. It still needs cleaning and sharpening up. How do I do that?
Also how can do you know how i compress the images before I upload them?

It depends on the program that you are using. Resizing, lowering the number of colors used, or converting to another file format would shrink the file size. A Paint or Picture program could help you sharpen the image too.

Thanks Gary, as you can tell I am a complete novice at this sort of thing.
So at the moment they are saved as JPG (if that means any thing to youse all) whats the best one to use (baring in mind i may not have that on my pc)
I could try losing colours but how low can we go with out it turning out looking funny.
I know for example I can open a picture up and put it in a word document. I can easily resize it in that document to fit where i want it to fit and it prints out ok. So if i was to do that then save it and then upload it would that have shrunk the size or will I need to do more complex things like finding a control menu to change pixels or something?
Ah well more things to play with when I get home tonight.
And Gary sorry to hog a thread I'll delete things once I have it all sorted out. Thanks for letting me play.

Not sure how well Word condenses the jpg file. But a paint program would help condense the file and all of the features it has would allow you to reduce the number of colors used without causing too much deterioration in quality. I use Paint Shop Pro.
Also, I use the convert feature of a program called ACDSee, that helps a lot. Not sure if other image viewing (not editing) programs have such features as well.

IrfanView does, for resizing, file format conversion, and color reduction. As SoM said, see the sticky thread over in Bits for more details.
