I'm OK with the 100 x 100 restriction...

 

heck on my other fora I have to cram something meaningful into 50 x 50 px!

 

but the size restriction is sad... I had to compress my Voyager until the compression ate away most of the blue glow on the panel... :( Just another kbyte or two would have been nice.

 

thanks all the same! :cool:

How do you compress pix? Any software you need to have? :confused:

Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or for free, Paint.NET (definately not the Windows built-in Paint which completely mutilates jpg files - you do not want that, trust me) or The Gimp.

 

All of them have the advantage that you can rescale pictures without too much loss in quality. For rescaling, it often helps to first perform image sharpening (available in all the aforementioned programs), and -then- rescale it. The scaling algorithm usually softens and blurs things a bit (bicubic) and sharpening your image first counters that effect somewhat.

if your personal webspace can handle the load of your icon, you can use it. if it can't, you have to settle for 4-bit 100x100 pixel BMP ha!
