VolontaArts

hey, so i recently decided to take my art to photoshop instead of illustrator and noticed when opening a document here theres a resolution area... so your suppose to double things for iphone 5 retina and gs will resize. so are these settings correct?



and lets say if i want to use a picture and open up in the new document i made. What can i do to import the picture at the best resolution.

thank you gs.

btw in GS i want my actor size to be 240w x 320h

Resolution should be 72

. . . lets say if i want to use a picture and open up in the new document i made. What can i do to import the picture at the best resolution.

Always make the resolution 72 ppi.

Then set the width and height to the size you need for your game (in pixels).

btw in GS i want my actor size to be 240w x 320h

If your target device is Retina, make the file 480 pixels x 640 pixels.




(P.S 480 x 640 pixels will use up a 512 x 1024 chunk of memory)

darn... whats the size before that? lol and thanks

would that memory effect every scene? or just the one its in.. because the one its in isnt a major deal its just the character selection scene.

Hi @VolontaArts

The size before that is 512 x 512. And memory is allocated wherever the same image is used... so each separate scene, if used again, it's loaded into RAM again. I wouldn't get too worried about it though unless you've lots of large images....

@gyroscope thank you sir
