That is not how the map is supposed to look. I sent it in a gif format and it somehow got turned into a jpeg file.

That is exactly how my first attempt at the map was ruined. I made the mistake of changing it from a bitmap to a jpeg and the colors all blurred.

I will try to somehow get a correct version of the map for people to see.

I will be starting the RP Saturday morning, if I wake up in time to that is. Otherwide I will post it early in the afternoon.

That is not Aran's fault. I changed the .gif to a .jpg to reduce the file size. I felt sorry for those on dial-up, who would have had to wait a full minute for the map to load. But if you disagree very strongly, I'll return the pic to .gif-format.

You are aware that .png is smaller than either other format and lossless, right?

No, in this case you are wrong. I checked and .png is smaller than .gif, but not smaller than .jpg. Though you appear to be right on the fact that it is lossless in quality.

I don't try to sound mean about it, but the detail found in the .gif file is critical to understanding the map key completely. You might as well convert it back.

I spent an hour here trying to create an Angelfire account, and I am not getting very far. You will save me time and energy.

Thanks for your efforts though.

So here we go, .gif this time:
MAP

This is the original that Aran sent me. I checked both. PC users will probably only notice that the .jpg is sharper. Sorry for the loss of details it caused on a Mac.

Edit 2: Ok. Replaced it with MSW's Angelfire pic. Hope this works now.

Ok...somewhere along the line my picture was blurred. :confused:

I had someone else look at the original and then the one you linked to ef and they are different in quality. I would feel better if the correct one were shown, so here is a link to the way the map should look.

I feel that the detail is crucial...not to mention my perfectionism drives me to make sure the correct version is seen.

Copy and paste it to a new internet page. The damn link won't work.

I said you need to cut and paste the web address. You cannot click on it.
