i made a character in Inkscape and trying to use in Gamesalad but ....

codexpert

I am just starting out using GS and I made my first game character in Inkscape (using size 96X96 pixels). I saved the svg file and exported as a .png bitmap). I brought file into GIMP and scaled image down to 48X48 and saved. When I tried to use as an actor image in GS the image was a bit fuzzy in the thumbnail and a pure blur when brought into game scene. Is there a step I missed in getting this image into my game? How do I make the image usable in GS? This is my first try at bring my own art into GS so any help is appreciated.

I think you need to check "resolution independence" on your project file. This can be found where you name your file and put a description. I'm tired and can't think of the name lol.
