Ok, I load a bitmap into db pro, get an image off it and paste it as a sprite but unless the image width and height are of equal value, the sprite image appears blocky and somewhat distorted. Like I have an animation frame for a character which is 16x27 with 4 walking frames. When I get image and paste it as a sprite at 16x27 it looks bad. Then out of curiousity I went and pasted that same image on a 27x27 canvas keeping the original sprite size in paint shop pro and loaded it back in and it appeared perfectly fine. What gives with this? Anyone experience this before? By the way, when I used the get image command I added a 1 at the end like this get image a,left,top,right,bottom,1 sorta how you would do with load image and it had a very very very slight effect on it but still looked like crap. So thats a no go........hmmmmm.... :-s
