Kyle Mahaney Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) The NPC Portraits PDF has solid white backgrounds for each of the NPC portraits in the Arkham book, these same assets exist with the alpha layer transparent background in the actual book pdf but are significantly lower resolution. This is very frustrating for importing them into a VTT, something I expect is a primary use of the separate portraits pdf. Is this a mistake? Could the higher resolution assets with alpha transparency be made available? Edited March 8 by Kyle Mahaney typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly, those have the background as appropriately transparent while the images in the NPC PDF are a solid background. Where did you get them?

Vellcrow Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I copied and pasted the individual images from the NPC PDF into GIMP. I then added the alpha channel for transparency to the background. I did have to fill in a few small portions of the bluish outer frame so that the tranparency would not overlap some of the lighter portions of the NPC. Saved them as a PNG at their native 200dpi resolution. I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that they exist in the pdf of the actual book with the alpha channel background just as a lower resolution, clearly the assets exist and the NPC PDF should be updated to make that available at decent quality.

Yes, I agree with you. That is why I was converting the ones I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
