    I posted this in tech support, but since it's a ghost town in there ...

    TWIMC:

    Hi! I am new to the board, but having trouble uploading my avatar. The specifications say there is a limit of 6KB, and I don't know how to compress an image so much without making it tiny and pixelated. I have Adobe Photoshop, but still can't get it smaller than 11KB. Any tips? I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    rabbit

    Hm... if I am not mistaken, I believe Photoshop gives you the option of specifying the jpeg quality. Just make the image small and then set the quality to around 3 or 4 and that should do it... I think.

    oh, how i wish that had worked ... i actually shaved the pixels down to 100X119, then saved it as a JPEG with the lowest quality imaginable: 0. still 11KB! *sigh*

    Geek4Life - thank you for all your help. The girl in the avatar is me on my wedding day ... back when I was the magical age of *23*. So, yes, she does like to swing dance, but, no, she doesn't know how.
