I'm afraid I have yet to understand these different file types...
What types are there, anyway? And what different things can they do?

It varies with the program, but the main ones are .jpeg, .png, .bmp, & .gif. .JPEG is a little less quality, depending on what you're doing. Something major it's probably best to use it, but simple, background-less things like I do I prefer .PNG. It's a lot smoother & less pixilated when I zoom in to fix or finish something. .Bmp is the default save in MSPaint, but is slow to load. .Gif is used for animations or transparent images, mostly.
I can't really think of any other way to explain them..I don't know anything about computers, I just use 'em. XD

They have a different encoding language. Mostly, just go with Fox's explanation, it'll be more helpful.

It should possibly be noted that for modern browsers, such as FireFox or Internet Explorer (the newest versions ONLY), .png also has some transparency. It's actually a higher quality of transparent, but not many older browsers support it. Generally, it's best to use .gif for transparency.
Other than that, .jpg (or .jpeg--same thing) is the smallest file size, while .bmp tends to be the biggest. The others vary based on number of colors, and variations thereof.
EDIT: as an aside, if you ever get a better scan of that image, fox, I can always re-modify and upload it. I seem to recall you saying part of it got cut off, or something...
EDIT OF EDIT: my aside is the first on-topic thing in this thread in awhile. Go figure.

Yeah. If I do though, I'd have to touch it up in Photoshop..which I prolly should have done in the first place, because my scanner makes things so bloody bright. XP
~And thanks. =3

Feel free to do as you like. It's your art, not mine.
Still, I'm willing.

On occasion, if I'm not mistaken as to his identity.
Which I'm reasonably sure I'm not...

Vlligeelder should really check some other topics...  He doesn't even know that you know. Maybe if you sent him a PM... Or maybe I should do it, since I'm on, and I've got to reply to a message from him, anyway. Wouldn't that be brilliant? Did you know he made plushies, 'cuz I never even thought that... |

Sorta, but not really. I've seen him make several things, but not plushies specifically.

I'm lost. =D
Well..since he's doing plushies..I guess I could always pester Dad to bring home some plastic bead thingys and I'll just make a beanie. =3 'Cause I found some wire....and I could prolly use patterns from various other plushies/beanies of mine.
Yeah...that was random.

But random is good.
Usually, anyway.
Beanies. though...what exactly would a Beastling Beanie entail?

*Laugh!!!* I wonder, if I ask Villgeelder this, would he respond... Well, whoever it is that reads it first and knows the answer, please please do respond.  Of what has Villageelder made plushies of, before? What have you made beanies of, before, Fox? |
