str82u Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Small file size is missing. Try it as a png if the site allows you to use that format, it'll be criper too, assuming you are using a decent program like Photoshop or similar. What I don't get is why anyone would load down a web page with so many graphics, I'm on 4mbit cable and there are times that some of these pages load slow because of it. Pendrake, between that and your avatar you would be adding 125kb (compared to the sites main banner at only 16kb), plus all the other people with avatars, and no offense VonHelton, but damn... I see you did away with the battle cruiser. I'm a crab at 12.30, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str82u Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Very nice, I love layering things, what program are you using? And dont worry about my comments, there are some folks with small videos for avatars (.gif) that are super sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendrake Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 thanks. I am using photoshop cs. btw, i think this one is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str82u Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Yes, I think it is better, but you'll probably tweak that into a real work of art before you're through with it. I was playing with my plate logo in Photshop. I am going to start using it for my site, but without the Texas theme. It seems that a majority of women don't get it "straight" unless they see it spaced apart this way and since the site is for finding information, it may make more sense this way.

NiteShdw Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Small file size is missing. Try it as a png if the site allows you to use that format' date=' it'll be criper too, assuming you are using a decent program like Photoshop or similar.[/quote'] PNG works good for pictures that have large blocks of the same color (like screenshots), but they don't compress well for graphics. The benefit to PNG is that it is a LOSSLESS format. It has it's uses, but it doesn't compress well for images. JPG is good for images, but it loses fine details that PNG keeps. GIF is outdated and should never be used for anything unless obsolutely necessary. It also uses lossless compression, but only supports 256 colors and uses dithering to make up for the lack of colors. The only reason that all the graphics on my pages aren't PNG is that IE 6 doesn't support PNG transparency (piece of crap browser... everyone that uses it should rot in hell and then forced to use a REAL browser). What I don't get is why anyone would load down a web page with so many graphics, I'm on 4mbit cable and there are times that some of these pages load slow because of it. Pendrake, between that and your avatar you would be adding 125kb (compared to the sites main banner at only 16kb), plus all the other people with avatars, and no offense VonHelton, but damn... Photoshop CS has a built in "Save As For Web..." function that 'optimizes' the file for saving to the web, and lets you preview how the image will look with different compression settings. The NiteShdw logo is only 16KB, but is the same size as your little banner that is 67KB. Use the Photoshop optimizer to reduce the filesize as much as possible while retaining the best image quality. The optimizer also removes all the META data from the image, further reducing its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
