    Hi everyone!

    Do you have an image that looks blurry in Rise 360? We've designed a workaround to keep your images looking crystal clear.

    If you'd like an image to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind that the 5GB file size limit still applies, and you could see an increase in your output file size.

Rise shouldn't be compressing PNG and GIFs to JPG if it's doing that. that's basic web graphics knowledge. GIFS and PNGs are for text and vectors and JPGs are for photos.  If you save or compress a 2-color vector image into JPG, you will end up with a bigger file size because of more colors (shades of the two colors) added and a blurry image.

It sucks that Rise does this and can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I like the sleek overall look of the course but the poor image quality of my screenshots are ruining it.
