I just tried to submit a tiled background (256x256 pixels), which seemed to be rejected because of the size, is there a specific gallery for tiles ??

I am not to sure of what happened. But are you sure you filled out all the right boxes. And that you checked both of the boxes on the upload page. I know theres a limit that the picture cannnot exceed (3000x3000). Yours may be to small or considered a snapshot.

By rejection do you mean that it said failure after you clicked upload. Or you uploaded waited and then recieved a Personal Message. The personal Message would have most likely explained why it was rejected though.

So more facts on what happened would be nice so we can get you posting again.

I clicked Upload on the "User Gallery Upload" and I get the message:

Error
The image size (256x256), is too smallTry using at least 600x600.

... and there doesn't seem to be a "oh no it isn't" button ...

Then, there would have to be a "oh no it isn't" response. =P

Minimum is 600x600, max is 3000x3000 .. yours is 256x256 which is less than the minimum. It goes by resolution; the tiling part is something your computer does.

Try tiling it in Photoshop (or whatever) to 768x768px (so there would be 9 tiles (3 tiles x 3 tiles) in your upload). That way it can still be tiled (on the person's computer) and still look the same.

So what qualifies something to be a snapshot?

Something that lacks Art.

...It's an opinion.

Annnnd ... backing up and addressing bmh1's original intent to his thread ...


I believe, Noah ... that what bmh1 is stating is that each individual tile is 256x256 pixels. Not the full size or resolution of the document/image that he is trying to upload.


Care to add some additional information bmh1? As in, file format ... the actual overall size and perhaps, how did you construct the image?

It seems apparent, that somehow some way ... the site is not recognizing the full document. Just each or an individual tile segment.

Compositing your tiles into an image in an image editing program or software ... saving it as a .jpg, or preferrably as a .png file ... should work.

Let 'us' know.

Thanks for all the replies, it is just an ordinary 256x256 pixel PNG
file generated in POVray.

I've stuck 9 tiles together (in GIMP) to create a 768x768 tile, though I can't help feel it defeats the object of using tiles for a background (and possibly if people search the site by aspect ratio they may not see a square tile even though it can be tiled to any size/ratio ...)
