-=-oh great, another newbie-=-

Photography is sometimes accepted here...sometimes its not...Depends on the picture really...Does it make a good desktop, and how is the quality are some questions the mods will ask.

no, i mean can i upload those pictures onto this site? i dunno if you want only 3d pictures or what

Wallpapers are about the only thing with strict moderation, and I don't think there is any soecific type of wall that is allowed. There are preferences and photos are low on the food chain because almost anybody can take a decent photograph. Submit them to see if the wall be accepted. There is no harm done in getting things rejected, maybe one might make it. I consider myself still new here too, and I found that bootscreens are about the easiest things to make especially now that it has the preview option...no more having to restart to see if you got the progress bar lined up right.

sweet thank CT and EH for your help. i think that i will do bootscreens, but i heard that they are only allowed to be 16 colors, is that true? thats gonna make it more difficult to produce quality ones...

yes they can only be 16 colors. The image quality at 16 colors is what seperates the good bootskins from the bad ones right now, at least in my opinion. It just takes a little playing around to get your pictures to look good. One trick is to make the picture monotone, another is to make the picture have less detail.

yes, i was just thinking to ask if 16 shades of gray are acceptable, sweet, at least that sheds some light now only problem is that i have a 56 k modem that only runs at 26k so i have to go to the library to upload and stuff or..... maybe i can get a cable modem? nah, my pa wouldnt let and my mom thinks the thing is evil

and it will take like an hour to upload a 5 megapixel wallpaper since theyre at 2560X1940 which is about 2 megs each.....

You might want to consider resizing your wallpapers to 1024 and 1600. Bootskins can handle 16bits for now, I believe.

alright, thanks

Bootskins are 4 bit, not 16 bit...

I knew that.

thanks everyone, i gotta go see ya later

yes, i was just thinking to ask if 16 shades of gray are acceptable

........... 16 colors is the maximum that can be used, but you're not required to use all 16. 

thanks for all, some of my walls as i see will not pass moderation simply because they are photos... oh well, i will make boots and logons out of them if possible. thanks again for clearing some stuff up

Same rules apply

rules? you mean that logons can only be 16 colors too? hm, im pretty sure that i saw some that were alot more..

No, he means Logons and BootSkins are moderated much the same as walls ...........

exactly

A good logon or bootskin should be made with the same effort and skill as a good wall too. No 'five minute' filter, Bryce or cut and paste jobbies.

oh i see. thanks. now all i gotta do is prepare a speech for tommorrow and then i can mess around with stuff.

/me is not comfy when giving speeches.

/me enjoys giving speeches, but only he forgot to prepare them

hahaha, for me, i prepare them but forget them as soon as i get up

hhhmmmmmm...... snakebite
