Title: LoginScreen background
Post by: Eremis on March 15, 2013, 10:05:12 pm

Hi all!

I wanted to create a loginscreen with morderd's tutorial, but i got a little prob :

My background pic isn't the same as my original pic. Here screens :

loginscreen :

original background :
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/590149WoWScrnShot040812151802.jpg)


I certainly made a mistake in photoshop, but i didnt realy understand this part of the tuto. So if someone can tell me exactly the way to have the same pic in the background of my loginscreen.


Thanks :D

I see your problem there:

I guess your screenshot was taken in 16:9 resolution, but blizzard only supports 1:1 resolutions with scaling of 2^X.
So you can either scale it down to 1024x1024pixels or up to 2048x2048pixels.

If you did so, you have to go to Edit->Transform->Scale
then you have at the top bar W: 100% and H: 100%
now you just have to make the H: 100% to H: 75%

then apply these changes and make the parts with opacity:0 to black or any other color and you're done.
(if they are invisible and someone uses an 4:3 monitor they have an black void space with everything painting on it each frame like those old error messages when Internet Explorer died).
