Add-on Help

Postby Remedy » 04/13/2016 10:32 AM

So I tried my hand at doing a really basic add-on (bar earring) on my Twilight Kuhna, Acacia:
ImageImage

But when I reuploaded the image, the colors were kind of diluted (also, the edited image seems smaller than the original). I'm a total noob with online art and everything, I don't have photoshop and have no idea how to get it or, if I did, how to work it. So I really don't know what I did/how to fix it. ;w; However, I've noticed that the dimmed color effect happens on other people's edited pets, too. o3o Any idea how to solve it?
Maybe I should just leave this kind of stuff to the professionals. X"D


I think back to the time when my search first began,
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless everlasting world out there.

I know that with this burning passion driving me
Someday, somewhere I'll finally see
The light I have searched for everywhere!

I can try to help! but before I do, I have to know what program you used (I can probably only help with things I'm semi familiar with), and what process you used to save it. Like, I assume it's a PNG because it's transparent, but were there any options like PNG-24 or other odd numbers?



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair

Bahah;; The program I used is basically the Apple equivalent to MS Paint. It's called Paintcat, it's really basic. I used it to draw the earring and saved it as a PNG file. When I uploaded it the first time, it didn't have a transparent background so I used Lunapic online editor to fix the background. Lots of probably super unnecessary steps, all goes in to the whole "I have no idea what I'm doing" thing. X"D
I dunno ;w; I might actually just scrap what I did and get a slot in your shop. You're a lot better at this kind of thinggg ;0;

Can't find any info on the net about "Paintcat," but do you mean Paintchat? 8'D  As far as I know it should have transparency abilities buttttt I'm not sure how you'd go about doing it. x'D

I do see what you're talking about, though; I stuck both images in photoshop and I can tell it went wonky somewhere with the size of the image and the color balance. Err... I could try to look into it later after classes today! But if you do want to order from me, an earring like that would be like the cheapest possible thing and I do have a slot open. xD!
