ms662princess Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I've been tryin to make pictures for a website but my file size is too large...On photoshop there is a way to save your file for web and it reduces the size of your image without messing up the image.

barkbark00 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Photoshop reduces the size of the image by limiting the number of colors used to those on a specified palette. That is a form of distortion. Here is a page that better describes the process: http://www.elated.com/articles/the-save ... b-feature/ Anyway, this is not an option in PdN.

ms662princess Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Oh, can someone make it an option??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Anyway, this is not an option in PdN. In fact, it's just that there is no dropdown to quickly select predefined levels of quality. Some filetypes are configurables, like the JPEG one. You can reduce the filesize by lowering the quality using the slider at the top. PNG may be configurable in the future. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms662princess Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yes, but i want the quality to stay on a high level, by me reducing the quality the image starts the look ugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Small File size |------[]------------| Quality Unfortunately, you can't have both. PhotoShop does more than PDN in this regard by limiting the number of colors, but only so much can be lost before visible distortion is seen. I know in The GIMP, there are several different encoding algorithms available for JPG, but I'm not certain which one PhotoShop or Paint.NET uses. The best option is to use PNGs for backgrounds / images with large areas of the same color, and JPGs for photos and other images that contain many subtle variations. Also, use 1 pixel repeating backgrounds when possible, and use the CSS Sliding Doors technique to condense link images and their alternate states into one file. I know this feature has been requested before, but I am not certain how high it is on Rick's priority list.

Bob Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Try using http://psydk.org/PngOptimizer.php Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsonchiu Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Png can be optimized. I use Irfanview to save it with highest compression.
