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.
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.
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.
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
