Portrait files
−
Portraits use
two
(24-bit ?) .
PNG files. You can save images in this format using practically any image editor such as Paint.net, Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. (
You can also use
Jpeg files, but given the opportunity
save as
the higher quality PNGs)

In [[Pillars of Eternity]], there are
two
separate
PNG files
for any given portrait, implementing the different image sizes used by the game
. You can save images in this format using practically any image editor such as Paint.net, Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. (Jpeg files
are supported as well
, but given the opportunity
prefer
the higher quality PNGs)

;Dimension
The two image sizes used by the game are:
The two image sizes used by the game are:

* Small (76 x 96 pixels), seen in
the UI elements like

Those are the optimal
size

re-sized
to fit
, however, it is
unlikely to produce the best result.

Those are the optimal
sizes for the portraits
, but you can use
larger images proportional to those dimensions
, which will be
scaled
to fit
(
unlikely to produce the best result
)
.

Each of these sizes
can
be identified
by the
last
letters
"_lg.png"
for
the
large
version of
the
portrait,
and
"_sm.png" for
the
small
.
You can name them anything you want but the file names must match, so for example if you have a portrait you want to implement into the game, it'll be made up of two files:
−
You
can
name your portrait however you want, as long as they end in either a '_' or plain old space ' ', followed
by the letters
lg (
for large
pic) or sm (for
the
small one)
and
finally
the
extension
.

For example: Karkarov_lg
