 Description  « Hide
I downloaded the new 1.21.6 viewer, and

1. All my pictures are taken at 5000x3750.
2. I usually take BMPs
3. I have been unable to take a picture now without the resulting picture being divided up into about 9 squares.
3a. Sometimes it comes up as three horizontal stripes instead, but most of the time it comes up like the pic I have attached.

Taking pictures in SL is one of the main things I do, so this has been quite frustrating.. and I have not had any problems before this new viewer.
(Also, The "save" button is greyed out after the first picture is taken, but I see there is another forum for that so will take that problem there.)

Since downloading the newest viewer, I have had great trouble getting my camera to record high resolution (3500 px wide) images, especially while using Freeze Frame. Almost without fail, I get the results shown in the supplied image.

Here's an example of the camera problem in action, utilizing a screen grab to show the settings I was using.

When you take a pic, try checking the box Constrain Proportions. This will normally get rid of the lines. This problem only seems to happen when people are taking really large formats and setting both the width and height to custom numbers.

A developer suggested that the GeForce 7800 cannot handle an image bigger than 4096x4096. Try lowering to 4096x3750

As regards to the GeForce 7800, I have that card and before that new viewer 1.21.6, I was able to always set a custom high rez setting of 5000 x 3750, and never had any problem with the earlier viewers. I take pics all the time, and have for the last couple of years using that card. I resolved my problem above by going back to using the older viewer 1.20.17 which had never given me any of those problems and doesn't now, so I get the feeling the GeForce 7800 is not the problem. Too many people suddenly had this problem, and a number of other problems in taking pics, after installing 1.21.6.

I agree Hitomi, this has nothing to do with your graphic card.

I get this screen when taking high resolution snapshots with water and glow. My screen is divided in 9 frames. With strong light I sometimes see 9 spots in the image.
I never tried it in lower resolution snapshots.

I was waiting for a new update, because I really am getting frustrated by this. Never had that issue before, only with the latest update. I deleted all SL programs and installed again, but unfortunately it did not help.
But reading your solution, Hitomi, I will look for the older viewer to download.

Is this still a problem you are experiencing using the latest Release Candidate?

vickie shan added a comment - 14/Apr/09 11:41 AM - edited
I continue to experience the same problem with the latest Release Candidate as well as while using any of the last iterations of the latest, approved viewer.

Anything but low-resolution photos break into the 9-grid when saved to disk. I have stopped using any new SL viewer and have resorted to using a much-older viewer.

I no longer have this problem using 1.22.11 and a nVidia GeForce 7800.

graphic setting on ultra with max draw distance and a 4096X2160 custom highres snapshot to disc is the orginal file. and i was not able to repro the problem as the picture shows.


Cummere Mayo added a comment - 27/Apr/09 12:22 PM
cannot consistently reproduce. though i can sometimes reproduce. suspect it might have to do with usage loads and lag but not sure.

Alexa Linden added a comment - 27/Apr/09 01:45 PM
Is anyone still able to reproduce this and if so, can you please provide reproducible steps?

jacolyn mathy added a comment - 30/Apr/09 05:41 AM
I have the same problem and have in SEVERAL viewers now.
ANY high res snapshot I take, in any form, that contains either glowing objects or water reflections... come up with the layered grid effects.
