| since it was updated, when I make the colours for a mosaic room it has to be 100kb. that's teeny compared to before!it's kind of hard to have the colours you want in an incy wincy square the size of a postage stamp! I mean no offence to all the updating, it looks really cool, but didn't it have to cut down on the image size to make a room? maybe it was just me, but I was using paint and only a few simple colours.... |

I don't think anything was changed with the size limit for images...
What you must remember is that any image you upload for the purpose of setting room colors is being resized internally to dimensions that represent 1000 pixels. In other words, an image with a near square aspect ratio would have less than 32x32 pixels! This is very small indeed. Even if the most unfortunate of image formats is used you won't need 100 KB for that.
So in other words, having an image with more pixels is a waste of your upload time. For those who are able to do so, I'd recommend resizing your image before upload to not have more than 100 pixels in any dimension - mind you, that'd still be immense overkill. For example for a tiny stamp-size image of let's say, 100 x 60 pixels, you'd be offering 6000 pixels of colors, but you always end up with only 1000 tiles.
My tip is: save yourself some uploading time and resize your image before upload. If your image file is greater than 5 KB all you get is a slower upload and longer processing time. |

Majestic, if you save via Paint as a .jpg it's a lot more compressed than a .bmp, so you get a larger image size per kb. just a small tip  |
