:Great! Just a question, have you considered posting this on the [[forumboard:57|Wiki Collaborations]] forum board? It would raise awareness of the project with those forum users who are involved with the wiki. Also, you said that the downside is updating the image links on the page which have been reuploaded as better quality? I could help out as necessary, if you would like. | |||

For those who are unaware, I highly recommend that you use [[User:RAP/PNG|PNG Monster]] for all the data compression for PNGs. The program compresses the image without losing quality. This is because PNG files are designed to be lossless, meaning it retains the same look, but takes less bytes when compressed further. Be sure to read instructions and notes on how to operate it. Try to practice it a bit; I know I had get into this mindset one way or another. --{{User:RAP/sig}} 05:24, 12 May 2013 (EDT) | For those who are unaware, I highly recommend that you use [[User:RAP/PNG|PNG Monster]] for all the data compression for PNGs.

Hey
Hey, this seems like a great project. Are we able to formally sign up? I'm interested in the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga images.

PNG Monster
For those who are unaware, I highly recommend that you use PNG Monster for all the data compression for PNGs. The program compresses the image without losing quality. This is because PNG files are designed to be lossless, meaning it retains the same look, but takes less bytes when compressed further. Be sure to read instructions and notes on how to operate it.
