Well, I just joined, the Pixel Joint, due to the awesome pics and my love for drawing... but now to the big question. Why is it necessary to add Small file? Why I ask this is because I dont know how to "re-size" my 120x120 pix to 100x100.  The real question is, how do I re-size my pics. Smaller. Or bigger. I use GraphicsGale, but of course, feel free to give links to programs that allow me to re-size these pics. (if no-one knows a way so GraphicsGale can make 'em smaller/bigger..) Cheers, Finhiisi. PS: I dont know if the word "re-size" is right or wrong, correct me if its not (right). |

The small file is the thumbnail that everyone sees and clicks to view the real image.
It's not allowed to (automatically) down-size a picture to a thumbnail, since then it's not considered pixelart anymore. The easiest thing is just to crop out an interesting looking 100x100 area from your main image and use that for the thumbnail. |
