navyplaya Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Lowering file size without drastically lowering quality Using Photoshop CS2 (this tut assumes you know the very basics of photoshop) 1.Open the file into photoshop IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m going to use this sig that I made for Booduz (its 51k) 2. Now go to File> Save for Web and it will bring up this box: 3. Now extend the quality box and move the slider bar (highlighted in red) until the file size (highlighted in green) suits your taste: 3.b. Or instead of adjusting the file size by the quality bar, you can click on the arrow (highlighted in yellow) and click 'Optimize to File Size', you can then set the file size you want the image to be: 4. Continue saving, by clicking save and naming your file. 5. ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s it, youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re done, and yes it was THAT easy! Finished Product: Original (51k): Reduced file: (29k) There was practically no quality loss. And it can go even lower that that with barely any quality loss, here the sig is at 20kb: Heres another example that i resized for bam: Original (30kb) (14kb!!) -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
