blurry images

matthowarth

hi all,

I'm having problems with some images. The measure 256x256 (a GS friendly proportion I thought) but when I take them into GS and drag them onto a new actor, the actor says its 30x30 in size. When I change the size to 256x256 and drag it onto the stage, it's blurry. It's the same with png's and jpeg's

any thoughts?

thanks

Matt

Make sure the position is not at a .5

Sounds like you have the proportions right.
I had a similar problem but noticed the images are blurry only in the preview and not when testing on the iPhone. (I'm guessing you are building for the iPhone?) I guess it has something to do with the updating of the image after making the actor bigger...

Make sure the dpi on the image is exactly 72 dpi

Not 300 dpi as many people try
Not 72.1 like preview saves

Exactly 72 dpi

aha, this is 300 dpi. I'll alter it when I get into the office tomorrow and give it another try.

Thanks Jon and everyone else for responding.

cheers

Hi Jon,

to confirm that the 300 dpi diagnosis was spot on.

many thanks
