Ok, back a little while ago you posted that you had figured out images and then you made yourself a new avatar and all that.

In your lessons, you missed one teeny tiny detail.... and that is that a 150X200 pixel graphic should not require 27k to store it in (unless it is an animated gif or a very complex image).

So, I went and shrunk it a bit for you...

Basically the same quality image, but now at just 8k (which is still way too high but going from an already resized jpg itt is hard to optimize and not lose a whole bunch)

Hell, inside of 27k you can make that baby dance.....

(and yes I know, it sucks but with me doing the graphics what ya expect? ya know ?)

rock on thanks man. if I right click save will they still dance when I re upload them to my server?

oh and I never said i was perfect, just that if igured out, so now how about telling me how to do the optimize thingy you are referring to.

Yes, they will keep dancing...

Image optimization...lessee.. First you need a program that will allow you to "tune" a jpg or gif.

I use photoshop a lot of the time, but I also batch process stuff through superjpg and I know there are tons of them out there.

The first thing you do, if the settings are available is change the resolution of the graphic (always work with the original or a LARGE image if you are shrinking down). First thing I do is set the resolution to 72 lines per inch. Then I resize the image shrinking it down to the desired size. Then, usually, you would save it as a jpeg and you would set the settings for a jpeg to give you the best quality at the lowest space (it is always a trade off of sorts). Usually these settings are available at save time or under the properties for the image.

Photoshop has an automatic jpeg high, medium or low (the high, medium, low is garphic quality) Other programs show this as a percentage (for comparison photoshop high quality under their "save for web" button is 60%) some programs handle it through a sliding bar wizard type thing that you slide between High qualit/big file and low quality/little file type settings.

Anyway, you play with the settings until you have them where you want them (I usually go by eye) and then save it (being careful of course to not wipe out your original in the process)

anyway, that is the basic idea. It is easy to do and saves a ton of bandwidth across time.

I have an unexplainable urge to play ping-pong suddenly.

Some people just have way too much spare time on their hands
