Atlas, Slate is one the best colors ever but not worth the $$$. I would rather have the PSE than pay $ for premium color.

Don't get me wrong, I still think Seal is a beautiful color, as you can see on the home page here (looks like a pic of my car!). But Slate at the time didn't seem to be worth the extra bucks. I now think differently.

997 looks striking in any of the gray's, models curves like no other car.

This is washed out pic resolution to fit but here is Seal 997 & my Slate 997S side by side --yeah this is seal on the left, compared to Ben's avatar above it looks Arctic but it's Seal--
wish the dealer had an Atlas grey on hand to capture all 3 together.

Can anyone tell me how do I de-content a photo to get it below 100Kb without getting grainy? I already had in .jpg format + switched to 8-bit color but after that they're still at 1mb.

I use IrfanView to fool with my photos.
It's free, works great, AND it's from Germany!
(It's in English so not to worry.)

It's simple if you're running Windows.

In the folder where the pic is, right click and select Open with MS Paint.
Then click on Image and
select Stretch/Skew
in the Stretch box enter percentage reductions in equal amounts
get the size you want and then do a Save As so as to preserve your original file.

Now go ahead and repost the pic for all to see.

I have a Seal Grey coming in November and I'm sure I'll love the color. I saw an Atlas Grey in a dealer's showroom and it's a BEAUTIFUL color! I thought it might be too dark a color for ease of upkeep and also might be too hot here in the South but it sure is a great color.

Yeh, i agree, the seal gleams in the sun and is the perfect grey for a hot climate My 997s cab seal/blue/blue arrives in early dec
