# lower the colours until you can bear it no longer, and maybe make it a bit 'lossy'
don't have dither selected unless absolutely necessary
if it's still huge, add scanlines on every other row

# and how exactly do I go about lowering the colours?
I'm using Imageready and I'm a complete novice in case you haven't noticed.
