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 don't notice a difference if I optomize pictures for the web. Of course you're not going to be able to get a super HQ photograph to remain all the best colors, and levels, and be able to save it to the web and keep it under 250kb. Is there are particular type of file that it needs to be? Like a photo, or a rastered image? |
