jpg, png, Map and Picture files sizes

Haha - i love this community

But seriously... I would pay to have them removed at this stage... what's with women and having to keep every piece of baby stuff 'just in case we have another one'.

It's not like you won't have a certain amount of warning.

Wasn't this one already on the 5E GM Handbook page of "Words Every GM Should Know"?

It was a great little sneak-in, that page.

Hey, guys. Reviving this thread as I try to get some image files reduced in size to maybe overcome some out-of-memory issues.

I too am starting with some Mike Schley maps, huge PDF files. I have been saving to jpeg and reducing file size. Also do some cropping etc, and ultimately saving the file as 4096 x 3072 pixel jpeg. File sizes have tended to be in the 4 to 6 MB when I do this and still retain high enough quality to have readable text.

However, recently I was told to try to get these down to the 1000 x 1000 pixel range to try to fix the out of memory issues. However, at that resolution text readability goes to crap with pixelation.

So I saw earlier in this thread a mention to link to higher resolution image. Does RW have a "link to file" type of snippet anywhere? I can't find it. The ones that refer to inserting file types seem to want to import the files into RW, not just provide an external link.

Thanks for any help you might have.

I reduce map and image sizes and after I get them reduced to an appropriate size I run through an image optimizer. You can get a jpeg image size down by about 25%-50% with it. See the thread on image optimization. VTT applications like FG have size recommendations for images. If your image is a map that is too big too big you may need to break it up into smaller images. This is common if you have battle map.

Try this:

1. Make a text snippet.
2. Right-click in the snippet.
3. Select Hyperlink.
4. Fill out the fields.
5. The address can be a file link such as:
   W:\The Rehberg-Courdy Saga\PC'er\Ronan Rehberg-Courdy\Character Sheet\Ronan Rehberg-Courdy.ods

Notice, that when you click the link the linkk is handed over to the operative system and Windows takes over, looks at the link and opens the default program for the filetype in the link and loads the file into the program. All outside of RW.


If you have a .jpg-file in the link Windows would use your default iamge program to show the picture.



Try and play around with it.
