Don't do a 'Save As'. Instead, under the file menu, you'll see 'Save For Web'. That will give you a compact GIF file that should be small enough for an avatar.

Mode... 8-bits/Channel, and then see if Save For Web is available. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

I made a multi-layer, 16-bit image in CMYK with an active selection and I *still* have Save For Web available. You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

stlscape Member 109 posts Joined Jul 2005 Location: St. Louis, Missouri More info | Dec 29, 2006 21:19 | #24 Click File>Save As, then look in lower right corner of Save As window. My version (8.10) has four buttons - Save, Cancel, Help, and Options. Click Options and a window with the Run Optimizer button pops up.

JWright Planes, trains and ham radio...  18,399 posts Likes: 35 Joined Dec 2004 More info | Great tutorial. I finally got the file size down to where it would upload. I'm curious about something... I know Save for Web strips metadata out of the file. Does anyone know how much the metadata add to the file size, even if it's only just the EXIF data the camera adds? John
