Asset image size questions

[Griogre]

IrfanView is a free image manipulation program that has built in batch processing. It's super good for resizing and de-rezing.

Just to follow up on Moon Wizards comment on webp - webp are awesome when it comes to file compression - saving tons of space on your fixed drives/SSDs. However, the real image size issues in FGU revolve around the size of an image in *memory*. There is no image compression in FGU memory so an image that doesn't take up much file space can take up a lot more memory space. Just to give a small example the Black Dragon Token below is only 20K as a file but is 264K in memory.

This has little effect on things like tokens and portraits but it matters a lot with map images. It's easy to have a map image that is only a few megs that is 10 times larger in memory. Its the 10 times larger memory size that is actually transferred and updated.
