Blog:2019's standard high-quality gallery (prototype)

Since Giantess Wiki moved to Miraheze, Giantess Wiki has had to adapt to its system and its limitations. To cut this long article, the following will show the most important aspects of the galleries of high quality that Giantess Wiki will have:

Preference for quality over quantity
The galleries will seek to have as few images as possible, but each image will have more information and quality on average. From this premise, it follows:
 * 1) High priority to animated GIFs: Almost all scenes will be saved in animated GIF format, which will mean that on average each image stores a lot of information. This will be very useful when studying the GTS tropes, besides that the galleries will be visually more spectacular.
 * 2) High priority to panoramic images: Most are usually static images, they are rarely animated GIFs.
 * 3) Low priority to keyframes: There are times when a simple frame is better or more representative than the animated scene, but these situations are very rare.

Animated GIFs optimized with the Lossy GIF algorithm
Normally an animated GIF of very high quality can be heavy (in bytes). From experience, I tell you that the Lossy GIF algorithm is quite useful for reducing the size of an animated GIF. This can reduce it by up to 80%, for example, if an animated GIF weighs 50 Mb, it can be reduced to 10 Mb or less.

Using this algorithm within a computer is easy and fast, but requires certain computer skills (I will write a tutorial on this).

No censorship
In Wikia they were quite restrictive, the erotic images were erased with high probability. However, with Miraheze there is no such problem, they allow you erotic images (even nude), as long as they do not violate the laws of California and the Netherlands.

The maximum size per file is 250 Mb
Wikia only allows you to upload up to 10 Mb, but Miraheze allows you to upload up to 250 Mb. Much better!

The problem of Miraheze's low technical limitations has been solved!!!
In short, something that Wikia could do but Miraheze, is to process huge and heavy animated GIFs and get equally animated miniatures. Miraheze can not do this, if a heavy animated GIF is uploaded, it is very likely that its thumbnail is non-animated GIF and whose only frame will be the first frame of the original animated GIF.

The solution found is simple: create the miniatures separately, as a separate file, and use them as a "bridge" to the original heavy animated GIF.

Although the solution is simple, it is necessary to make an algorithm in Adobe Photoshop to process such images automatically. I will write a tutorial about it.
