I'm fine with the quality they are now, it's just the 1st Sythe zoom I had that was very blurry. Although I could try PNG next time, see if it's a significant difference.Myperson54 wrote:The reason it seems blurry is because you'ere saving in a .jpg format, which is a "lossy" format. If you tried to import these into RMVX Ace, it wouldn't recognize the white background at transparent because of all the artifacts. If you go into whatever program was used to make these sprites and resave the originals as .png files, they should look much cleaner.
Microsoft Paint doesn't try to soften the boundaries. I use several different editing programs just to make one sprite because one can do something better than the others, and Microsoft Paint is used for the zooming. The original Sythe was zoomed in another program.Myperson54 wrote:The "blur" is also being created by the zoom-in of the sprites. Since their dimensions are measured in individual pixels, colour boundaries are going to look super sharp to the editing program, and it'll try to soften the transition.
