The animated was the only one of mine that went a little over the 40kb limit, and I warned Laurel of it when I posted. That limit is to make sure images download quickly on everyone's computers; but my animation, by definition, could be downloaded a tiny fraction at a time, while it was being played, so it wouldn't matter if it had 80kb or 160. There would always have been more than enough time without causing problems.neonurotic said:
If you are asking what the file size is, all you have to do is left click on the picture and then click on "properties".Angeline said:
How big is your original art work? Angeline suggested a technique that works great for me awhile back. Try blowing up the art fairly large and using big text. I normally put the image at 1200 pixels and my text ends up being 60-80 font size, depending the font face used, then shrink it down to size. Also, work with the anti-aliaising and shadowing because they can have positive effects on the end result too if it's done right.Rybka said:If you are asking what the file size is, all you have to do is left click on the picture and then click on "properties".
My problem generally is that they image seems to degrade when I shrink its KB size down to 40, and also, at 450 pixels the words often become hard to read.
I have a lot of graphics programs (which I don't know how to use) and it doesn't seem to matter which one I use.
That's interresting. I tend to do the exact opposite of that. I make a 450x1000 pixels vide blank image, and then I work with that, so that I see directly how shadowing and font rendering will look. I'll have to try it your way one of those days, and see what happens. Never too late to learn new tricks.neonurotic said:
