Poor Image Compression when testing on iPad
Hi folks
I've tried searching for an answer/help on this but is it just me or is the search function on the forums completely broken? I get a fairly random collection of posts displayed with very little if any reference to the search string? I even tried searching for two completely unrelated topics and got the exact same search results...
Anyway!
PNG in photoshop looks good. PNG in GameSalad Preview looks the same. PNG on iPad when testing is compressed and terrible looking. Very noticeable banding on gradients - loads of spatial colour compression
Is there a way around this?
Cheers!

It's standard to any iOS game that uses Box2d, I'm sure a google search of box2d image compression will come up with why is happening. Also, make sure your images are multiples of 2 (4 if using resolution independence) because odd numbered images add blur (not related to the gradient problem).
Nope, we can't add more Box2d features, just what GS allows.
