[opensuse-doc] Screenshots look terribly in LfL
Hi all ! Screenshots look terribly in LfL ! I have just submitted two made at 1024x768 resolution, but applied them to be 90% of browser instead of full-size. Text is absolutely unreadable. What to do? My recommendation: Make them clickable (on HTML) page, so one can access to full-size screenshots, if he so wishes, to see details. -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org

Make original as close to real screen coverage, not the full screen resolution. That will avoid automatic resizing. I had that problem with screenshots that contain text and are just a bit larger than browser window, it resized them making large portions of text unreadable. Smaller uploaded images had no problem.
My recommendation: Make them clickable (on HTML) page, so one can access to full-size screenshots, if he so wishes, to see details.

I'm not going to remake my screenshots ! That's a lot of time... A lot easier is to change them in GIMP, but is there better solution? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org

GIMP Batch Mode http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ Most often mentioned are ImageMagic utilities. I have no experience with them beyond experiments, but they are designed for a batch jobs. See also Gwenview menu Plugins -- Batch Processing, it is not one click and run, unless you want to print images, but if you have a few images than might be worth to try. It defaults to prepare image for print, but there are 2 other options in drop down list. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org

the problem is that browsers are not very good in resizing images. A width of 90% in the XML sources translates to <img src ="" width="90%"> in HTML.

This would be possible with a style sheet modification, but the ugly rendered screenshot will still be there. Rajko is correct - the only possibility to have good quality screenshots on both PDF and HTML is to provide them in the size they should be displayed (for shots of the whole desktop I would recommend 800x600). The ImageMagick command line tools are very handy - the following bash code resizes all png images wider than 800px in the current directory to 800xX and does a bit sharpening, too. --- for FILE in *.png; do SIZE=$(identify $FILE | cut -d " " -f 3) WIDTH=${SIZE%x*} if [ $WIDTH -gt 800 ]; then echo -n "Resizing $FILE..." mogrify -adaptive-sharpen 1 -resize 800x600 $FILE echo "done" fi done --- -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
