Non Color Images
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 8:18 am
It is very unreasonable to not allow Non color images on the illustration page. Why?
It creates more work that one does not need, first of all you need to upload each images separately now, instead of having them all conveniently placed on Illustrations page.
Secondary not all people may have the high quality illustrations that would be resized or joined well enough. Considering the slow pace of the translations it may be reasonable to have it all uploaded already rather than risk not to have those people at all later on.
Just look at other projects - ZnT or Toradora, all have non-color images uploaded together with color images and then later their thumbnails inserted together with the text once the translation is finished.
So why SaW has to be different? Just because it is a mess within translations right now doesn't mean that illustrations have to be at mess either.
Seriously, lets just keep it as normal as possible and follow the way of other projects, without trying to be 'original' and mess things up.
Yes i know that there are already uploaded few illustrations but just look at their thumbnails crappy quality. I do not know if it is because they are uploaded in non usual way but the quality of thumbnails certainly look bad so far.
Also we have to remember that SaW is not Haruhi in terms of speedy translation. It is rather slow so by the time when the chapter is finished the person who had hq (but still fitting) images might be gone and all others will have lower quality versions or none at all. Thats why it is better to upload all the illustrations and once the chapter is finished anyone can link the thumbnail into the text (he.she would not need to have the image itself as it would be already uploaded).
