Marketplace assets not even formatted correctly for GS!

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
So I broke down and bought some art assets from the GS Marketplace. Big mistake and waste of my time. First thing I noticed was that a number of the assets in the package were not GS friendly (backgrounds 300 x 512, rather than 256 x 512 or some other proper size). Also, none of the graphics were 72 dpi. Thus, when I tried to use from the purchased assets tab every single one was blurry. So I had to drag them all out into a folder and use photoshop to resave them 1 by 1 at 72 dpi. That is not cool at all. If this is a GS marketplace any asset they approve should work automatically from within GS creator as was promised and I should not have to export to photoshop to format them properly. I will not buy anything from marketplace until that issue has been fixed.

    Thanks tshirtbooth. I Looked to see where I could report before posting but nothing really fit. It's not a bug and the contact categories did not fit either. I did post a comment on the products wall though. (p.s., just to be clear, it was not tshirtbooth's product and I would personally feel safe buying his products on the marketplace as I know he would fomat correctly).

    Update.... So I tried using both the report bug and the contact link but, not surprisingly, both are broke and I just get that really annoying "oh noes" message that was funny the first 20 times I have seen it but is really starting to wear on my nerves. Come on guys that link should never be a problem (or at least extremely rarely) But it is constantly an issue. I have never in my life encountered a company that has such significant problems keeping something as simple as a contact link working and it makes it worse like a slap in the face when you try to report a bug but you can't because of another bug. Now, I love the GS SDK, but man you guys frustrate me sometimes.

    This really worries me because I was right about to buy backgrounds.

    @bernardoespanol this thread is two and a half years old. I'm sure not every asset is perfect but I'm also sure GS has addressed this issue. Please don't bump old threads like this.
