10k for a Avatar pic is way too low..

[Dawn (DayZ) 27]

Having a 10kb large pic with the dimensions 100x100 without having something that looks like its from the 1940 is irritating to make..

Nothing i do will size it down..

The finished photoshop version of an avatar im making is 17kb.. and ive already went down from 100x100 to 55x60 and its still too large, ive put it in Paint to decrease the graphics even more.. but to no avail..

In my opinion the Size for Avatars should be max 20kb atleast..

Bump.

Really forum? What kind of picture is 10kb or lower?

Anyway, if you are using photoshop, saving X avatar as .jpg will not get you lower than 20kb. Try gif, it's the smallest format available. Same picture quality in photoshop ~20kb while as .gif it goes as low as ~4kb

My avatar is. And its made with photoshop. I just saved it as a .jpg and lowered the quality. Usually I use .png but in that case it really wouldve been around 15kb. But there are absolutely NO quality-differences at all. 100x100 px are too small to see those.

Edit: Wait a sec. where is my avatar? :O

Edit2: There it is. And sorry, i made a mistake. I use a .gif. the .jpg is 14kb, while the gif is 4kb. Also, as I said, with 100x100 no quality-differences.

PNG/50x38 6.95 ko/ PS.

Room to spare...

The avatar I m using wouldnt go lower than 20kb at quality 1/10 [.jpg]. Really, it wouldnt just go lower than that. Unless I set quality to 0/10 which looked ugly as shit.

Saved as .gif now it's 7kb with the same quality of a .jpg set to 8/10 quality

P.S. I hate .png formats for some reason

I don't think Rocket has any part in the site maintenance. Usually a 3rd party is maintaining the forums.

Don't tell me to deal with it, if you have nothing to add here then don't, unless you are one of those people who care about post counts and will jump to any thread and post useless stuff?

Gimp.

Save it as an indexed *.gif file and you'll be able to get what you want in there. PNG files and high-quality JPEGs are a no-no. Any image that size can be stored as an indexed GIF.

Try converting your existing image to an indexed GIF using The GIMP as Dallas suggested.
