Do the thumbnails look shitty - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi All

I'm can't get the file size down on my gallery pages

These are some thumbs from galleries I'm working on.
Do they look to shitty?

http://www.amateur-crazy.com/somethumbs.htm

I think they look ok, but will they stop tgp's from listing the gallery? More important, will they hurt conversions?

I'm keeping them under 4k. At least I try

The galleries are like 70k total

Actually, those look pretty good to me.

I have been out of the game for a few years, but I used Macromedia Fireworks to compress images. It batches them as well, so if you have a directory full of them it does it pretty quick.

Do they still make that program?

If you want smaller file sizes, don't use a WYSIWYG editor, use Notepad.

DieselJean · 12-30-2002, 08:58 PM

Thanks

I'm using photoshop and doing all the work by hand- not smart, but I don't make a lot of galleries,

I think they look perfectly fine man

DieselJean · 12-30-2002, 09:07 PM

I wish I could work just with notepad, but I can't yet. I'm still crossing over. Your right though

thanks agian,

I only have 43 more thumbs untill I'm done for the night.

Look about right to me in size.

Whether you use Photoshop or some thumbnail-maker, you are limited by the quality of the original. If you start playing around with default settings, trying to save 1-2k per image, THAT'S when your thumbs start to degrade noticably. The thumbs on that page are fine, not fuzzy at all.

Did you buy that content?

paid content sucks, you need to resize,cut,compress even use filters. I'm using pre-made content available for free in the web.

No Man, It's yours

I'm the guy that e-mailed you about ibill. I haven't signed up to promote GMGB yet, because I'm waiting to see if you switch.

I hope everything is cool. Sorry if I alarmed you. You were probably ready to sick the dogs on me

Cyber3 · 12-30-2002, 09:36 PM

LOL, Thats classic good luck man I use Unlead Smart Saver Pro to compress images, but the ones I give to webmasters I do not compress most like to do it themselves.

Too funny, I was just checking

Regards,

Kevin

Soul_Rebel

you smartass, you knew it was promo content

That means you probably push GMGB.

Do you have any good advice for a friendly webmaster?
