Ah-Hah! By George I thunk I got it! Okay, ya see those jagged lines outlining Lauronica? Well you can smooth those out in-game. Just go into the in-game Image menu, slide your button (on the far right) towards Smooth and save the option. Presto - smooth pictures. Now, I'd suggest that you change it back to the default options once you've taken all the pictures you want so as to keep your game running right but try sliding that button some and see how your pic looks after.

Well that looks great! Nothing blurry about it at all... perhaps you are over editing. I never bother to sharpen my pictures, I usually just keep it like that, straight from print screen. I suggest you check out some of those helpful tutorials V listed for GIMP because I'm unfamiliar with the program myself and it may be that when you try to resize the image, then that is when the blurriness occurs.. ? From what I see though, you shouldn't be having any problems because your graphics looks great

I'll be honest and say that my game is running on the highest graphics possible...which helps a lot. And then to smooth out everything even more, I usually just take the smudge tool and use it around the edges a little so that it looks more smooth without blending in things too much. It's a fine balance, I've learned.

I love it Alia! I think you've done a great job with it As for suggestions (because I know you like hearing more critique than praise lol) maybe move the standing Ethele a little more to the left? She looks kinda on the edge of the planet where she is at the moment and I think it'd be better for the eyes to have her just that little bit further away from the other Ethele laying down. Also, you could possibly add a drop shadow to the text?

Ooh, I like those ideas. EDIT: Like this? And thanks for remembering that about me!

Alia: I think it looks much less distracting now And the text looks fab! Keeley: Very cool slogan! I think the poster looks great The only thing I would change is to move the left Yersinia to be on the right and the right Yersinia to be on the left.. just so that they are both facing the planet and looking excited

This is what I've got so far with the Math HW. I'd really like some suggestions on what to do with the text. I'm so bad at text.

Keeley I don't see where you need any improvement. I like the curly top of the "O" and it adds a little 'something' to your text. I like the slant of the "W" also because hey, these two are slighty bent themselves yes? Good job. Btw, I'm diggin the background - that was well chosen.

I love the whole concept, Keeley! The bottom pic looks very romantic, no problems there But the top two pics, I think you need to go over your sims in photoshop: I can still see green around where you've cut the hair... If you are having trouble doing that (without making the hair look stupid: which I often find happens when I'm editing) then try and get a background that is similar in colour to the background you cut them out of -or much darker- so that the green kinda blends in.. do you get what I mean by that? Oh and I totally love the magic btw: The purple/pinky orb is especially awesome! In fact, you could change the wizard's staff to maybe a red or black, like his outfit? - The hue/saturation panel in photoshop comes in real handy for doing stuff like that But yeah, overall I think it rocks! He's a very handsome wizard and I love the expressions ^_^ edit: oh, and as for the text: I agree with V, it looks great to me! Maybe add a drop shadow? And perhaps, the word 'Romance' could be a different colour.. like the purple/pinky tone? I dunno.. just play around with it I guess if you aren't too happy 'bout it lol

The only thing that is off about this to me is the hair in the top left picture... it's too pixely. Other than that, I think it's really nice. I'm glad someone's doing romance. I decided not to since I used it in the last assignment.

Here's mine: I sort of wanted to use this one to show Ethele's personality a bit more. She looks sweet and innocent, but she's really not as nice as she seems. She'll do anything to get what she wants.

Oooh...really nice Alia. I really like the concept and the way you've put it together. The only thing that I can think of to change right now...is maybe have him look at her all lovestruck in the last panel?

Yeah, I agree with Keeley on that score: if he looked a bit more dazed and lovestruck then it would really make the picture (the thing that comes to mind with that is the receiving sims reaction to flirt -> charm) But overall I think it is amazing, I love how you infused Ethele's siren abilities in this assignment and, as always: the editing is top notch!
