Any & All Forum Problems (Shrinking Pic for Avatar)
Folks, I am about as computer illiterate as they come. (I still swear that the only reason for computers and the Internet was to make it easier to look at ****) I have Adobe Photoshop or whatever it's called, and I have shrunk the file size, and actual pic size, and now have it down to about 350 KB. Still way too big for the 19.5 KB limit for an Avatar. What do I do now???? TIA,

What version of Photoshop do you have? Yours may pre-date Save For Web. If so, save the file as a JPEG. When you do, it should give you a dialog box that let's you tweek the image compression and see how large a file will be created.

Here's the pic I'm working on. Currently it's 35KB, and that's the smallest I can get it using you guy's tips. It did reduce from 350KB to 35KB, but won't seem to go any more. Thanks for all the help and tips. Drewster, I would have e-mailed it, but I didn't have your address, and I haven't figured out yet how to navigate the new Rennlist format to find it.
