# Well make it smaller then
it isn't hard to do and it will look the same.
then you won't get a bunch of snarky comments and people might actually look at the picture.

# look at my comment
it was constructive.
it was suggesting that you will get more positive comments if you make it under 100 or even the suggested 50K

# Quick question
In pshop, which format image to save, uses less kbs in relation to same size pictures? And any more tips to reduce the size bar cropping, smallerness or sending the slidey bar down to Amiga levels of quality?

# JPEGs are almost always the best in terms of compression ratios, unless you've got very few colours or transparency.
I find the compression wizard in PSP works better than photoshop. Try changing the colour depth as well...that might help.

# if you've got solid banks of colour and clear boundaries like in cartoons, use gif or png
and with png make sure you remove the alpha channel (unless you need it) and make sure it's indexed to the number of colours you want, or it'll look big and you'll join the ranks of people declaring that pngs are huge. (hint: they're not, unless you leave them with 16m colours and an alpha channel, in which case yes, yes they are.)

if you've got shading of colours and soft boundaries like in a photo, use jpg.

# I make no claim to be an expert
But the gimp does a generally good job too.
(Then again I haven't used photoshop in a long time)
It also does the indexing where necessary.
