I took the picture myself, in Tennessee... 8-)

 

 

 

Only problem is that it's 80Kb+... Any ideas how to get it down to 30? #-o

 

 

 

Comments appreciated!

Although i like its simplictic look to me it looks as though it is missing something, but i dont know what. But I do like it.

 

 

 

Here it is, optimised down to 30kb

Dont worry about the fact that its over 30000 bytes, (theres 1024 bytes in a kb so it made it by about 120 bytes)

Thanks so much! Although I didn't save it as psd ( #-o really stupid me) so I can't really edit it.

 

 

 

How did you do that without compromising image quality? Cause whenever I save below "9" image quality on PSCS, the jpeg gets really crappy.

It's a JPEG.

File -> Save for web.

 

 

 

Then click the little arrow in a circle under cancel and then Optimise to... then choose the file size you want.

i like it, but the text needs work.

 

 

 

What do you mean?

 

 

 

I intended to get the simplest text possible, and I think I did that. Unless I go pixel, but I don't like pixel that much :?

i know but png works as well

 

 

 

PNGs are usually a huge file size but have highest quality. Optimising a signature (excluding pixel) into a jpg usually has the same look.

 

 

 

I always save my sigs as .png they do have IMO the best quality, and I can always get my .png's under 30kb very easily, mabye it's just the program I use, FireWorks MX ( By macromedia ) but it is really good with optimizing .png's and alot of other image types \' i can also save layered .png's

 

 

 

but I like the sig, it's like my first one, kinda simple, but it looks nice

:P Now that macromedia doesn't exist anymore hopefully adobe will use their compression methods and put it into more use in photoshop and imageready...

 

 

 

But sseli I use Photoshop CS2 so its gunna be exactly the same as yours (i dont like it when people abrivate the programs into 3 or 4 letters because it can confuse me so im assuming you have Photoshop CS)

 

 

 

Click on file, then instead of going to save go a few lower down and click on save for web

Change the scroll menu under presets to JPEG then goto the right of that and click optimise.

Then simply fiddle with the quality bar and it will change the file size drastically before touching the image quality (although if you zoom in it wont look as clean cut) I set yours at 79 as that was as high as it could go before going over 30kb's...

 

 

 

I hope this will help future projects of yours.
