alright so i have a graphic that is 1 MB right now and i need to get it down to 250 kb. if this was your task, how would you go about it?


it pisses me off. every time i save it to something under 250kb, the color looks like shit. it makes the saturation and contrast suck. if i go back and kick the saturation up some, then it throws me up over 300 kb. at under 250 with faded colors, it doesn't even look like what i originally did, so it's just a complete waste to require something to be this size wtf.

anyway, just what would you save it as if this was your problem?


edit:

when i open this file back up in photoshop it looks ok. but if i upload it or open it with anything else it looks faded out.

i have a lot of .jpegs saved optimized at 100%, over 1000x900 and still under 250kb. just stick with save for web, jpeg.

if it's a really colorful image, try resizing to 90% or cropping.
