Just a quick note that these other two dudes are CCP Explorer and CCP t0rfifrans, to link our Twitter identities to our dev characters.

How about having the rendering server that does the hi detail portraits just generate a green screen one that can be downloaded from eve gate or account management? I'm not so sure that would be useful. For performance reasons then we only render an hour later after you take a new portrait. This is to allow people to change their minds and retake the portrait before we finally re-render. For green-screening / blue-screening purposes I'm assuming that people need an immediate turn-around loop.
The export to PNG with the background as alpha idea is more interesting, except we render the images as JPGs and I don't know how deep into the rendering pipe we would have to go to be able to do that.
On this subject: What are good green/blue-screening values (if statically chosen)? Based on some quick searching for green then 25, 130, 10 ("Japanese Laurel") and for blue then 30, 70, 160 ("Fun Blue") came up. What is your experience?

WTF are you devs doing in payed time? Starts to sound like agile methods are used to avoid things that really are hard and need fixing and do stuff thats useless and easy... I beg to differ that this is a useless feature; it was requested by players, well argued what the usage and benefit would be, and has the potential to facilitate player generated content.
CCP karkur was able to quickly implement this feature with some input from CCP t0rfifrans and testing from CCP RedDawn. The things you mention would require a larger team with game designers, server programmers and web developers, and would require more incubation time in dev blogs, forums discussions and testing on SiSi. They are on our radar for the future but why should that block us from working on these smaller items that provide value?
