OK I wanted to know how do you get a image smaller without quality loss?

This image was my first go at photoshop so dont laugh.

I can get it to 60KB bad/good thing about it is it has like a scraped effect on it which kinda brings it to life.

How come I cannot show a IMAGE?

also reason its in the review is id like your opinion. is there any way I can improve it?

If you want it smaller you can go to Image: Image Size in photoshop and shrink it by size. I think the images are a bit too bright and grainy (if that is the word for it).

no not physically smaller smaller in kb's. or is it impossible?

I wouldn't...it is already a gif so it will be fine. Another alternative is png.

Is their a requirement for picture size? If not don't worry about it.

Just export the image to web using Photoshop as a GIF or JPEG as both formats are quality but compressed.

Hi,

This work with .jpgs, i'm not sure if it works with .gif's, but it's worth a try.

Open the image in Paint, and just simply go to File > Save as... and save it in the same format.

When i tell people to do this (with .jpgs), they never belive me, but it does lower the file size and keep the quality.

Also, for future reference, use this guide that -RJ- posted at my forum, http://www.siriusweb.com/tutorials/gifvsjpg/

Rep appreciated

Adrian.

with jpeg with max quality its a 400kb file with gif with max quality its a 120kb file. its the reason I chose gif. I tried running through paint then saving to jpeg but yea it does lose alot of quality (I use to use paint for my photos when showing on the web)

yep I read that website and because it is bigger is cause jped displays in 16m colors as with gif it displays in 256 colors.

I just tried using paint with the gif and it increased in site by 3 fold.
