Thread: how do i reduce file size of a photo without losing quality?

i am trying to do some avatars and they come out great but exceed the size limits even at the lowest quality i can get them to and at that quality they look like a$$...

any suggestions?

for canon dslr users like myself, we use DPP, the included software with the camera, works great

do you use mac or pc?

I am assuming that you are using photoshop to create the graphics at he pixel size necessary. Its easy just instead of save do a save for web by raising a lowering the quality from 0 to 100 you can see that the file size change. lower that number until the file is between 19 to 21k.
Done.

Dont tell any one. People might actually start doing their own avatars around here.
