Re: [libreoffice-website] LibreOffice 3.4 images/photos
I'm thinking of taking some screen shots of new features for our Japanese website. If you like, I can contribute them also for our global website.

Ideally, they should be available in high-quality PNG or JPG files, high-quality screenshot and JPG is a contradiction in itself. JPG is lossless, and especially for sharp color-switches like they are common for a desktop-window it generates artifacts. with a size of 1600x or 1900x. Print magazines often ask for usable screenshot, and the better the quality, the better it is for printing. And this doesn't realy make sense to me either. The size of the screenshot doesn't have an impact on the quality for printing. for printing you need a high dpi, sure. But no matter whether you take a screenshot of a 800x600 window, or a 1600x1050 window: the dpi of your screen is the same. So when you want to increase the dpi, you would have to scale down the 1600x1050 image, but then you would get unreadable text, as the 1600x1050 window would use the same fontsize as the non-downscaled 800x600 one. But maybe I'm misunderstanding, so just providing one of the goood for printing/press screenshots as a sample would help clear my misunderstandings. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I remember they had that at PrOOoBox-times (CCing Daniela who did that then) We agreed that time not to use Windows-screenshots because of some uncertainties in the licenses coming from M$. We choose as KDE theme which was not very far from the WinXP look. I can dig my mail-archive if somebody is interested.
