Yay! Image Mode! Our servers can handle Image Mode because of [your generous
|
|
|
|
donations][donate]. Thanks for all you do.

What is Image Mode?
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Image Mode has two main features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Save images of your pets!**
|
|
|
|
On supported browsers, you will see a "Download" button. Clicking it will
|
|
|
|
start downloading a PNG image file to your computer.
|
|
|
|
2. **No more Flash!**
|
|
|
|
In Flash Mode, your browser downloads several Flash files and layers them
|
|
|
|
on top of each other. In Image Mode, we layer images, instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How do I use it?
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start using Dress to Impress normally: type in a pet name or choose a
|
|
|
|
color/species combination from the home page. Then, to the left of the pet's
|
|
|
|
image, you should see Flash highlighted.
|
|
|
|
**Click on the word Image.** Congrats, you're in!
|
|
|

|
|
What does "Waiting on X images" mean?
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that some of the images you're trying to view haven't been
|
2011-08-07 16:27:01 -07:00
|
|
|
converted yet. They're waiting in line to be converted. These days, that line
|
|
|
|
is pretty darn short, so the message shouldn't stay up for too long at all.
|
|
|
|
Just wait patiently for the magic SWF converters to run, and you should be
|
|
|
|
good to go :)

How do I download an image?
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just click the Download button beneath the Flash/Image switch. If all goes
|
|
|
|
well, a download should begin automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't see any Download button.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Downloading currently only works for modern browsers that support the new
|
|
|
|
canvas feature. It is, however, supported in the latest versions of,

However, Internet Explorer currently is having trouble running Dress to
|
|
|
|
Impress in general, so is not recommended.

This image doesn't quite look right.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If part of your image looks a little off, like something is missing or is
|
|
|
|
transparent when it shouldn't be, hit the "Broken image?" link beneath the
|
|
|
|
Flash/Image mode switcher. Choose the image that seems broken, and report it.
|
|
|
|
The SWF converters will get on it as soon as they can. Thanks for your help!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that, because our SWF converters use open-source software instead
|
|
|
|
of Adobe's software, some SWF files that use more complex features may not
|
|
|
|
come out right, no matter how many times we convert them. Usually this involves
|
|
|
|
fancy blur effects: Ghost pets, for example, have a sharp blue silhouette behind
|
|
|
|
them instead of a blue glow. There's not much we can do about that for the
|
|
|
|
time being. Most of them are okay, but if an image is just plain unusable…well,
|
|
|
|
that's what Flash mode is for!

What do I do if I find a problem? Have a suggestion? Just want to talk?
