Barb:
If I purchase a background package, to use in something I am going to create and print, and I am specifically purchasing the package because the stated size would be appropriate for the end product, can you understand that without the dpi information, I have no idea if that package would suit my needs?
If I purchase a package of 1600 x 1200 backgrounds, and need to print them at 1600 x 1200, can you understand that if that background package had images that were 72dpi that I just wasted my money? Because as you said, I would have to resample the images and if I have a specific print size needed, I have just spent money for something that is absolutely worthless to me.
So, since these packages are being sold for "commercial use" and a logical commercial use is print, can you see why it should be required for the dpi disclosure to be made? Otherwise, how would anyone who intends to use the background as something incorporated in an image that needs to be printed at a specific pixel size, know if they are purchasing something they can use?
There's a beautiful set of large fractal images that are new to the marketplace and in a reasonable pixel size. However, after writing the merchant, I have discovered they are 72dpi, which means if they were reset to 300dpi, they would be itty bitty tiny images that would be worthless, unless I was going to print a postage stamp. That is why the dpi information should be provided when a package is offered for commercial use.
I am sorry for the misunderstanding and for my frustration during our discussion. I am hoping that Clint will see that without this information, for those of us who are purchasing exclusively for print use, we can't possibly make a purchase.

Let me try to explain this to you one more time, because you are not understanding the issue:
If I purchase a 1600 x 1200 image at 72dpi and I need it to be 1600 x 1200 for print purposes and I take that 72dpi image into my editor and change it to 300 dpi and ALSO keep it at 1600 x 1200 I am going to have a noise filled, unprintable image.
Don't believe me? Just do it.

I'm sorry, but no where does that article discuss changing a 72dpi image to a 300dpi image, in fact, it's discussing the reverse.
Why don't you take an image and save it in the same size at 72dpi and at 300dpi. Now, take the 72dpi image and increase the dpi to 300, but keep it the same size. Now print that. Now print the original image that you had saved at 300dpi. And then you can come here and tell me how it makes no difference.
I and my publisher are extremely well informed when it comes to print work, as that is what we do for a living.
Since you are so utterly opposed to providing a consumer with information they feel and know is important, I'll continue as I have, writing the merchants and asking them the dpi of their work, purchasing packages that contain imagery that is 200dpi or greater.
Thank you for your assistance in resolving my problem.

What you don't understand is the difference in quality between a 72dpi image and a 300 dpi image.
Of course, you can change the dpi from 72 to 300, but when you do, there's a lot of noise picked up in the image, which makes for a VERY poor print quality.
So, while you are correct, what you are saying is not applicable to my concerns. I work for publishing houses and sell prints of my work all the time and I can assure you, when you change a 72dpi to a 300dpi, the quality of the print is not of any value and I certainly wouldn't try to sell it.
Thanks for your input, but I do need the information and it shouldn't confuse anybody to include it. In fact, some of the background packages do offer this information (see Bez and Antje's packages).
For anyone doing HIGH QUALITY print work, it's important information.

Thread: Request: Background Image Packages | Forum: MarketPlace Customers
To further clarify, I am not asking about photographs taken with a digital camera.
I'm asking about background packages that are created in Poser, Photoshop, Painter, etc.
The merchant is well aware of the dpi of these images, as they select the dpi when they save them.
Without that information, anyone with print intentions is lost.

Nope..that's not the only information I need.
I print in various sizes. 72dpi will result in an extremely poor print and I wouldn't consider purchasing packages at those sizes.
I need the dpi to know the quality of the resolution and so I can calculate my needed print size. I would never purchase a package that is 72dpi.
So, that's the information I need to know, for my personal purposes.
It shouldn't cause any confusion. It's a simple as telling me the dimensions. They can tell me the dpi. There's a HUGE difference in quality between a 1200 x 1600 72dpi image in print (egads, just print it and see) and a 1200 x 1600 image at 300 dpi.
This is information a consumer has a right to know.

Thread: NUDITY | Forum: Community Center
The nudity filter does work. You need to go to "My Options" while you are on the gallery pages (not the forum pages) and set your preferences for nudity and violence.
It does work, as I use it.

What a great response, Karen! thank you so much! And all of those suggestions are valid and certainly eliminate the need to use a pronoun at all!

Thread: Image Resizing is really NOT a good idea | Forum: Community Center
Quote - This one looks nice and smooth too but I'm afraid changing the image quality to fit the forums max filesize might have degraded it. We'll see. Edit: Yep, still looks great, even after downing the image quality to fit it into the forums.
Hon...your next trip outside the building should be to an eye doctor. If you can't see the extreme jaggies on her legs and outfit and your eyes are fine, you need to calibrate your monitor.
What irritates me is that there are MANY people saying this is an issue and you chime in that everything is fine on YOUR computer. Good for you! We're delighted.
However, professional designers/programmers/coders know that they must design to meet the needs of the MAJORITY of viewers. Clearly, you have failed to do that with limiting image size to 700.
If this isn't going to be fixed, just say so and limit our image sizes to 700 x 500. Or, just ignore our issue and keep telling us that it MUST be our computer since you can see it fine.
It's this type of response from admin that is an insult to our intelligence.

Unless I'm mistaken, in the gallery there is a "my options" area. If you go there, you'll find you can set your preferences for both nudity and violence.

I don't know how it was earlier, but I'm on a T3 line at work and it took well over a minute for this page to load.
The entire site is very slow, including the marketplace.

Thread: | Forum: The MarketPlace Wishing Well
When I want a character to have a "fuller figure", I always use Dave 71's Serena morph, available at RDNA. Dave created this fuller yet sensual body via the use of magnets and it loads as a prop. In the pose library, he has a fitting room pose that morphs almost any clothing, with few exceptions (most of As Shanim's clothes don't have the necessary morphs as a noted example), will automatically fit the character. I wish more character creators would use this method to create body morphs. It makes it so easy to fit clothes to the character. If you like a fuller body morph, give this character a try.
