inner_breed Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 do not save as png, just crop it to paint and host with imageshack not photubcket Runescape veteran. Originally adventurer (and mage on other account), now pker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molishist Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Errmm... no, don't save as png. Unless your using paint and you made a pixel picture. PNG is high quality but bigger file size. If its an abstractish kinda thingy picture and your using a prog like photoshop or gimp, then do JPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Rod_The_Ti Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Both of these are umm.. drastically wrong. Sorry guys. Just save as Jpeg, and put the quality bar down a bit. Should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axeraider70 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Lets put it this way BMP- HUGE FILE SIZE! Low amount of colors, ok quality, but big no no for pixel sigs. GIF- Low File Size. Medium amount of colors, scratchy quality, good for animated sigs. PNG- Medium File Size. High Amount of colors, Excellent quality, great for pixel sigs. JPG (JPEG)- Low file Size. Medium Amount of colors, very scratchy quality, horrible for pixel sigs. TIFF- Icon File. Thats all the files you can save a pixel as, you can save photoshops as gif or jpg and thats about it (Besides psd because it doesnt upload onto imageshack.) axeraider70.deviantART.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigsforsale Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 well i have abstract sigs that are like 37 kb each, and they need to be 30 kb. they are gif files right now, but when i change them the size doesnt change. any ideas other than just making the picture smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos74 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 On Photoshop, go to Save for web...Then on the right, click the arrow, and click "Optimize to file size." Type in 29Kb, and it should fit under tip.it sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet, if you have Photoshop, is to follow Carlos74's advice. Or alternatively, go to save for web, and expiriment with the settings until you get a size and quality you're happy with.
