Time to change the pictures?
Archive: 63 posts
| The different pictures that cycle randomly at the top of the page every time you load a new one have been up since before LBP2 came out. Since the vita version is soon upon us(stillnoideawhencoughcough), and since theyre old anyway, can it be time for some fresh pictures? I've offered utilizing all the shots we have made from the Caption Contest. We have 33 so far and all HD.  http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx224/LBPC_Caption_contest/Homebrew%20pics/?albumview=slideshow Thank you jww! And Ive noticed at least one new picture, so thank you! | 2012-03-17 16:30:00 Author: ATMLVE  Posts: 1177 |
| It be cool to get some snap shots of the move kit up there... those levels looked great... that and clive... everything is better with more clive... including clive =p | 2012-03-17 19:20:00 Author: ForgottenEnigma  Posts: 1414 |
| Yeah, I think it would be nice with some move pack snapshots too. | 2012-03-18 09:08:00 Author: hello  Posts: 24 |
| Are you voulenteering to do all the work needed to create a dozenish new images? | 2012-03-18 14:03:00 Author: Rabid-Coot  Posts: 6728 |

| Who would be the one in charge of that? Of changing the pictures I mean. | 2012-03-19 02:40:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |

| I vote to have jww pics there | 2012-03-19 08:18:00 Author: OmegaSlayer  Posts: 5112 |
| I second that motion. Great idea! There have been some great photos in those contests and it would give the site a fresh look. | 2012-03-19 10:34:00 Author: shropshirelass  Posts: 1455 |
| "Same as it ever was"... CC. Thats what I thought, and was hoping you wouldnt say... Isnt there someone else who can? I dont think he could spare the time for something like this. | 2012-03-19 16:25:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |

| Noticed some new pics up there! :d Refreshing! | 2012-03-20 01:14:00 Author: grayspence  Posts: 1990 |
| Youre right, I saw one too. Thank you, um... you! CC hasnt been on, so obviously someone else did... | 2012-03-20 01:22:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |

| Yup, it wasn't a complete image swap, but instead four new headers were added. It's not a lot, but for now it's good. I'd like to try adding some more later, we'll see. | 2012-03-20 05:10:00 Author: warlord_evil  Posts: 4193 |

Yes thank you very much warlord! I guess this thread has served its purpose well. | 2012-03-20 13:30:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |
| OoooOOo I see one of mine up there! lol Awesome! ..maybe a bit too cropped and thus pixelated, but hey... I love it! | 2012-03-20 14:26:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
| Awesome to see some new pics. It'll annoy me if I don't ask - the little pink car one, what level/game is that from? It's badass. | 2012-03-20 15:42:00 Author: Ostler5000  Posts: 1017 |
| It's an early screenshot from a story level in LittleBigPlanet Vita. | 2012-03-20 16:15:00 Author: warlord_evil Posts: 4193 |
Lolwat, I saw a picture from the caption contest!  | 2012-03-20 16:16:00 Author: nysudyrgh  Posts: 5482 |
| They look great. It's awesome to see a bit of something new on this site | 2012-03-20 19:58:00 Author: Sackpapoi  Posts: 1195 |
| ..maybe a bit too cropped and thus pixelated, but hey... I love it! It's actually to do with the color depth. We're looking into correcting that. | 2012-03-20 20:34:00 Author: Aya042  Posts: 2870 |
| It's actually to do with the color depth. We're looking into correcting that. Let me know if a bmp, jpb, or tiff might be better for you. All of them were rendered as png, but maybe that wasn't helpful? | 2012-03-20 21:13:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
| Let me know if a bmp, jpb, or tiff might be better for you. All of them were rendered as png, but maybe that wasn't helpful? There's nothing wrong with your source images. The one from Caption Contest #52 (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=60537-The-Caption-Contest-Round-52) should look better now, but you'll have to refresh a few times for it to come up. | 2012-03-20 22:17:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |
| What is strange now is that the images don't cycle too well If you refresh you can get the same image 3-5 times in a row. | 2012-03-21 09:26:00 Author: OmegaSlayer Posts: 5112 |
| Not for me. I tried it and they cycled fine. | 2012-03-21 18:21:00 Author: ATMLVE Posts: 1177 |
| Crap, haha! I was just going to suggest this. I think all current screenshots should be removed and replaced with a bunch of community created ones! I could moderate that or something.. | 2012-03-22 01:31:00 Author: Cronos Dage  Posts: 396 |
| The "crazy cropping" in each picture is intentional - it makes the file size smaller, believe it or not. As for new header images, I'm in full support. Let us work out some details on our end, and we'll get back to you guys about how you can start making some new ones for the site. (hint: feel free to start picking screenshots ) | 2012-03-22 18:54:00 Author: ConfusedCartman  Posts: 3729 |
| It be cool to get some snap shots of the move kit up there... those levels looked great... that and clive... everything is better with more clive... including clive =p Yay... I see move pack ones now, still... needs more clive =p It's good to see this suggestion was/is being looked at XD It's nice to have a fresh look. edit: also... I have a picture of certain Tarsier employee's sackperson painted pink after they fell asleep in create mode... any chance we could have it as the site theme for say... April 1st...?

| (hint: feel free to start picking screenshots ) Does it have to be LBP2 screenshots? Or do PSP ones qualify too? | 2012-03-24 18:42:00 Author: nysudyrgh Posts: 5482 |
| Does it have to be LBP2 screenshots? Or do PSP ones qualify too? I don't think PSP screenshots are gonna look particularly good upscaled from 480px to 640px in width, but if someone can post an example in the full 480?272 resolution I can take a look. | 2012-03-25 11:24:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |

| Haha, I love the new Prize Crown robbery header! Glad you enjoyed that one! Not sure if you saw, but that was the pic that I made for round 52 of the Caption Contest. ...32 others we created (me along with the wonderful TheCountessZ) are here. http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx224/LBPC_Caption_contest/Homebrew%20pics/ | 2012-03-27 20:56:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |

What do others think? | 2012-03-31 13:21:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |
| I like a bit more interactive ones, but I guess from PSP you are kinda stuck. Maybe if it was more of the player doing something rather than standing? Pardon me as I really have never played the PSP version so if I am nuts by saying all that... sorry!! lol | 2012-03-31 13:47:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
| It was just a test, I'll ask Schark if he can make another one. EDIT: He will post them straight into the thread, an unknown time from now. | 2012-03-31 14:51:00 Author: nysudyrgh Posts: 5482 |
| I like a bit more interactive ones... I was really only asking in terms of image quality. At full size, some of the lines are noticeably jagged. He will post them straight into the thread, an unknown time from now. Since you'll also lose some image quality from JPEG-compression, can he post direct screengrabs as PNG? | 2012-03-31 15:41:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |

| Why that second one is most splendid! xD | 2012-03-31 18:51:00 Author: nysudyrgh Posts: 5482 |
| Just replaced all the old 8-bit color banners with brand new 24-bit color ones. We now have 46 banners instead of 15, with a mix of LBP1, LBP2, LBP Vita, and LBP Karting pics. ...32 others we created (me along with the wonderful TheCountessZ) are here. http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx224/LBPC_Caption_contest/Homebrew%20pics/ Cheers. Used quite a lot of these. Sadly, there were quite a few which were impossible to reframe from 1.77:1 to the required 2.80:1 aspect ratio without losing one of the subjects. Personally, I blame your overly-professional image composition skills. Here they are... Ta. I'll have to sort these out later on. | 2012-03-31 19:22:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |

| Fantastic new headers - a real breath of fresh air. It's great to see some of the old caption contest pics again too - they still make me smile. | 2012-04-01 14:12:00 Author: shropshirelass Posts: 1455 |

| So let me get this straight, anyone can suggest photos to be put in the headers? If so, I have a couple of pics that might look good. | 2012-04-01 18:02:00 Author: Cobaltor  Posts: 222 |
| Added another 17 pics (including some PSP ones) making a total of 63. | 2012-04-01 18:40:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |

| Which PSP ones, Aya? | 2012-04-01 19:31:00 Author: nysudyrgh Posts: 5482 |
| Which PSP ones, Aya? I put in these two as an experiment... http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q559/Schark6000/LBP%20PSP%20-%20level%20Screenshots/Snap001-1.png http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q559/Schark6000/LBP%20PSP%20-%20level%20Screenshots/Snap004.png ...but they look kinda blocky, so I might take 'em out again. Is there some way to get them in a better resolution - perhaps some way to stitch together two pics side-by-side so it looks like a single continuous image? Otherwise, I might just use some of the costume renders like this... http://www.shawnandtom.com/LBP/LBP_PSP_costumes3.png | 2012-04-01 20:03:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |
| OK, I got some photos that might look good in the header. They don't compare to the ones already up there, but anyways; http://ie.lbp.me/img/ft/8fe9faf81557ce280c8b192428a65ae3e707cb10.png http://i0.lbp.me/img/ft/e2004784c3575848ad14b5bb81efa95abe4c1a64.png http://ib.lbp.me/img/ft/88b4116efa8f8c80f26a341e0dfb2c999cd71d90.png http://i8.lbp.me/img/ft/508600d997e7ff9fe2e1f0e3fe04cc953ac0aa45.png If you want to see other pics, then go here (http://lbp.me/u/Cobaltor_252/photos) to see others. If you were to take these into consideration, that would be much appreciated. | 2012-04-01 20:21:00 Author: Cobaltor Posts: 222 |
| Is there some way to get them in a better resolution - perhaps some way to stitch together two pics side-by-side so it looks like a single continuous image? I would do this already (if I could), but I don't think it's possible, sorry. I'm using a screenshot tool, so the maximum resolution is 480x272. :/ | 2012-04-01 22:10:00 Author: Schark94 Posts: 3378 |
| Gah! I was so surprised to see a pic of my level up there! I'd be happy to get better resolution ones though, not only for mine, but for other PSP levels too. They'd end up looking something like this: http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff393/valmassoilbpc/Wooden%20Isles/IMG_4265.jpg And I can get them in a much larger size, if that's helpful. | 2012-04-01 22:20:00 Author: anoken  Posts: 1654 |

I don't have custom firmware on my PSP, so I can't take pictures. Someone could take two pictures in which part of the level overlaps and I'd be happy to make the crop in the necessary spot. | 2012-04-03 05:55:00 Author: WoodburyRaider  Posts: 1651 |

I can get better results using something more like hqx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hqx) tho'. http://i.imgur.com/jdzax.png | 2012-04-03 12:34:00 Author: Aya042 Posts: 2870 |
