Hi all,

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but in some ways its pretty relevant.

Are any of you knowlegable in the art of optimising images? By that I mean
reducing filesize and retaining as much quality as possible. I was pretty
confident I knew what I was doing but recently I have been proven wrong.

I was actually trying to reduce the size of computer game screen shots to
adorn my website with. My website has over 1000 reviews of Amiga computer
games so I wanted to be doing it right. Anyway, an internet buddy took one
of my raw .bmp screenshots and reduced it to a bit more than 10k in png
format. I have not yet been able to get him to tell me his secret.

I have been messing about with Adobe Photoshop - Image Ready and Save for
web etc, but cannot get close to that.

Can any of you explain how this is done?

If you're interested the original image is here:


png format is probably the best compression format for your purpose - with far less artifacts on images with areas of the same colour and geometic patterns - like your game screenshots.
You can simply "save as png" from photoshop.
