So every time I make a sig, and I apologize for this to the Staff, it always comes up with a filesize of about 60-64. This, of course doesn't meet the requirements for sig size on these forums. I was wondering how everyone gets their sigs down to size becuase my PS seems to hate me when I save stuff. (i've reverted to resaving in ms paint which several downgrades the image... :( )
save for web ->
jpeg ->
56% compression (adjust until it says it's well within 50kb, sometimes the preview is wrong, so just be safe)
not interlacced
yes optimized
Use Irfanview or GIMP to save your picture if you are uncertain.
Since you're using Photoshop, do what I do; save it as a CompuServ GIF and try to reduce as many unnecessary colors as you can. Sometimes I can even get stuff down to literally 5 kb without changing the image at all.
By the looks of it, I don't think you'll be making anything so big that the above method won't work for you.
Thanks!
Sagensyg, we need to have a talk. . .
something about reducing colors of 8-bit PNGs being more useful than GIF for images that have more than two colors and are bigger than 400 pixels. . .
