jpgs are not lossless (is that the right word)? Every time you resave/replace a jpg it's quality deteriates.

I never start with jpgs only save to them when need be.

In an effort to try to explain this better I did some more messing about & thankyou I think I'm on to something.

So I've gotten a bit further with this, still a little confused but am hoping for success.
There are two ways to get to where I was yesterday.

  1. place the text map (created in UV mapper) into Illustrator and to get the intial outline trace it's edges with the pen tool. From there create the cloth images ect.
    or
  2. open that text map in Photoshop create a path around it's outside edges and use that in Illustrator.
    I prefer the latter as it saves unessacary time with the pen tool.
    For some odd reason the path I create in Photoshop is a bit wider then the Text Map I created from UV mapper? Height is fine???
    The image on the left is where I was yesterday.
    The right one is now after narrowing my outline by 90%
    I had the same problem with the texture on my Feary Scene but luckily some where either not showing or in areas that were not visible.
    Anyway I'm not there yet but close.

Thanks.
