How to resise an avatar?

Post by **RandomHero** » 28 Apr 2005 09:05 pm

I have a question. I can't make an avatar under 10 kb that still looks good. I resise them with photoshop. How does everyone else make them small and still look sharp?

I've tried with photoshop and in any format or resolution they were all too big! I copied the same image from photoshop into a cheap image editor and saved it at a higher resolution, which seemed to have more compression, but still looked ok for a small enough size to be allowed. Worth a try copying into any other image editor you have.

Try Infranview.
It's for free and it is great to resize imgaes with!
It has a real good compression rate too so images will be quite small.

what i had to do

make my image in photo shop, save it. open it in mspaint, select all, copy, then close the image. then start a new image, paste the copied image over, then save the image. voila, 6k image instead of 25k

Install Infranview.
Open picture you want to have.
Save as.
Done

You can resize or resample your images too to make them even smaller.
It is a great and simple program.

When you want do download infranview you have to register first. The time it took me to copy and save the image was much shorter then that

After regestering you will never hear of them again and in the future your resising will be way faster and without the quality loss most programs give you.
