If there is really dispute over some of the artworks we can still talk about it, it's not like we have hundreds of them. For the record, we currently use full cropped artworks (like [[:File:Card (Art).png|this]]), half cropped (like [[:File:Sea (Art).png|this]]) and some with full white backgrounds.}} | If there is really dispute over some of the artworks we can still talk about it, it's not like we have hundreds of them.

{{Xion4ever|time=20:56, 16 June 2014 (UTC)|text=Then, from most of the people who have currently commented, most would agree with Shard. Also, I think most of us know, at least by now, which artwork needs transparency and which do not. Heh, and even if we don't, I'm sure someone will revert or guide us along the way. ^_^ I'll start checking the transparencies I did a couple of years ago.}} | {{Xion4ever|time=20:56, 16 June 2014 (UTC)|text=Then, from most of the people who have currently commented, most would agree with Shard.

{{ANX219|time=16:53, 22 July 2014 (UTC)|text= My transparency method uses GIMP, add an alpha layer (so it gets transparency) and select the background with "select by color" because it's usually white. If pixels in the picture are white (some pixels in the images are transparent, so they are semi-transparent when I get rid of the white--such a PAIN to take for the long way around), I erase all around the image at 1600 zoom, then I check with a black background on another layer under the image, to check for stray pixels. It's quite the time-consuming process. Sora had 14 sprites and I almost gave up since I had to erase everything around the sprite so many times. Frustrating, but I (and possibly others) am satisfied with my results. I believe we shouldn't make any form of artwork transparent, including the logo/promo images like Smile and Throne. The Sea artwork looks nice half transparent, but I prefer the original. I agree with ENX on the part of purism. They might be useful as a transparent for making banners for the Keyblade War or something similar--but they should stay as they are. (I absolutely adore all of the concept artwork!) There can be stray pixels that we might erase that are part of the drawing--you never know.}} | |||
