image optimization..
 

have a fpa thats 188k.. how small do u think i can get it without making it look horrid?

how many pictures? lots or just one big one?

20 images sliced makes the fpa

What resolution is it and are you using .gif or .jpeg, and is it animated, alot of colors or just a few?

its not the size of the fpa that matters, its the way you use it.

not animated and jpg's

many colors

And the resoultion is? What program are you using to optimize it in?

Ouch.

Damn.
188K? better emm...

well.
try again.

whats the measurement of the lay out?
A mailer fpa oughta beno larger then this block that is gray for this post.

Page FPA maybe no taller than 512 hieght and 700 wide.

Would have to see to make a more educated guess.

I THINK that 20 slices is usually to many and will slow down the load. Fairly sure your browser loads four slices at a time.

So then I'd reduce the number of slices first. I've done this to many sponsor half and full page adds to speed things along.

Next jpg or gif - depends on the image. You can get size down quick in gif if you reduce the number of colors. But the picture may look like shit then - depends.

You know about jpg quality, I'm sure - just keep reducing till you loose the look.

Good luck and have fun.

how many pics total
