Avatar Size
Hi
I'd like to use the animation you see at the bottom as my avatar. The problem is a 8kb size limit rule. I know that its there to make surfing faster, but i do think its a little too harsh. Don't you think so too?

i think she did it using a Gif animator... you can use a smartsaver and make smaller each image... and then you can animate it again, and then compress the gif! then you can see the results... _________________ This is FunkEducation, supporting the 1992-1998 Jamiroquai!!

sorry Lista, i thought you were a girl....
by the way, you can use Ulead SmartSaver... then you can make smaller your images, and then make again the gif.. _________________ This is FunkEducation, supporting the 1992-1998 Jamiroquai!!

No problem at all.
Well im using FireWorks, which is virtually the same thing. Its impossible to compress it to under 8kb, and still have a sastifying quality. So i'll just use this image, its great too.
And sedaquai, if you find a way to use it, feel free to do so. |

well reduce the avatar that you want to the size : 80*80!
Then when you want to save click on : FILE > SAVE FOR WEB!
There you can find the settings to reduce to the 8kb , will reduce the quality of the picture obvius! You can save on *.Gif or *.Jpg _________________ hooked up |

Thanks EvoV,
It was saving it as Gif instead of JPEG that made it small enough - Your the man !!  |
