Why wasting another 200k storage space for something as unimportant as a loading screen? BTW: Default size of all loading screens is 1024x768 &rArr; Corgrind (Contribs • Message • Email ) 12:08, April 14, 2022 (EDT)


 * Your system might be using other than DDO default HD value, i.e. 16:9 1280 × 720. That (1024 × 768) you referenced, located in the settings file maybe? Was actually designed for eXtended Graphics Array (256 colours) that's why you might be seeing that value appear... DDO was meant to be targeted at 720p. Even the background images they created within PhotoShop CS6 and prior were set for (1024 × 768) 720p video display. They used (16,7 Million colours and 24 BitsPerPixel) at 72dpi.


 * The Loading Screen... should be readable (and maybe potentially preserved for prosperity and archiving). You yourself might consider it unimportant; that's you own personal opinion, which you are free to express. In most cases you'll be seeing a smaller predefined size. For example: Preview (or it loading via a quest page) rather than the original itself.


 * That storage space difference - you mentioned - is negligible for that actual [Screenshot] file itself. Of course I uploaded a completely different Screenshot, it wasn't your old image resized. Because editing and resizing that Screenshot JPEG would have been techincally unsound, e.g. artefacts and lossy compression.


 * Hopefully that helps explain things better. :-)
