..thumbs so small in size? I have no idea how people that submit to my sites make there thumbs like 5.5 kb and shit. Take today for example:

thumb1 (orignal)

5.05 KB (5169 bytes)

So i take that image and save it, then put it in photoshop, then resave it as thumb2. Now the fucking thing is 26.26 KB!!! I mean wtf, its the same image - all i did was photoshop and resave it as thumb2.

thumb2

26.26 KB (26891 bytes)

I make it 88x68 and its still like 18KB

thumb3

18.13 KB (18566 bytes)

I try to reduce size thing in photoshop to 4:

and no luck, its like 12.55 KB and it look like shit:

How are you guys making your thumbs like 5kb and still making them look so good!!? Help me.

Hi there,

In photoshop, use "Save for Web"...
I took your "thumb2" and had it down to -4 kb. without any loss of quality!
Good luck...

That helped some, but it is still at 11.15 KB. How are people making it 5.5KB though.

Take your thumb2 and save it as a jpeg (quality 50) and you have 3.89 kb.

I have always wondered the same. I am not a PS expert. I am not that good at it either.
