ok, here's the second revision http://www.visualjockey.com/wave2/ The first one was created in iWeb. Great for getting things started, not so great for fine tuning. This one is all hand coded and optimised. Let me know your thoughts, and bugs, etc. Also interested in your thoughts on the videos/screencasts Everything is BlitzMax |
| ||
The first thing I noticed is how compressed (low quality) the screen shots are. With horrible jpeg artifacts and blurred text. |
| ||
no problem, i'll get it sorted :) |
| ||
PNG support is a standard on browsers now. There is no reason to stick with JPG. |
| ||
Cool. Should make a big difference. |
| ||
OK, all jpgs updated with higher res versions, no more jaggies :) Also updated the about page. jpg being used for screenshots because of file size 100-200k vs 400k for identical png - no need to waste bandwidth - hehehe. |
| ||
Hmmm it still has the jpeg artifacts - little dots around pictures and especially around text - the worst being the 'Simple interface' screen shot. 100K is far too low. Stop scrimping on pic quality, it makes your site look unprofessional. |
| ||
There is no reason to stick with JPG. You can set the compression level of jpegs, and even make them lossless, I believe. |
| ||
ok, point taken :) Looked into uncompressed jpg and went with png as suggested. What about the rest of the site? |
| ||
Much better! :) Site looks good now...just a typo on the "About" Section: "There’s 3D waveform viewing" |
| ||
You can set the compression level of jpegs, and even make them lossless, I believe. At that point you might as well use PNG. |

hmm, html copy paste error, changed it for the correct ' so should be fine now. What I will does put up a .dmg with the current version for you to check over :) OK, Here goes... http://visualjockey.com/wave2/VJO Wave Ver 1.0.dmg (you'll need to cut and paste the link as it has spaces - sorry about that) there is very little documentation apart from the keyboard help and every ui item has help (at the bottom). There are hole here and there, but in general feature correct. It's a very deep beast though... |
