Help? Trying to make good 88x88 thumbs
 

Hi All,

I'm trying to make good 88x88 thumbs to have on my affiliate site next to the free hosted gallery linking codes. But for some reason they just don't look clear? And the file size seems to be larger than most of you guys and gals are looking for. If someone knows how to do this, and would like to help me out? Please hit me on ICQ# 251860879

Just trying to make it easy for you all to make money with the girls of pineapplepink...

thank,
Denny

I just ICQ-d you...

Lets get this solved :D

For 50$ paypal I can make you alot of thumbs :D

Hi Again,

Should I be cropping them ouy of full size pics or reducing full size pics down? If anyone can help, post it here or ICQ me... Maybe you'll help others too... That is what this board is all about, I think?

Denny

Crop the area out, then re<a></a>size to 88x88, then use the sharpen filter, then save for web, as a jpg, somewhere between 70 and 80% compression...try to keep it below 5kb.

Yep this works like a charm.

Hi Thanks,

I have been setting the crop to in Photoshop to 88 x 88 and resoluting to 180. and croping the portion out of a full size pic. Maybe I need to sharpen it like he said. My file sizes are coming out at about 24K

Denny

Yeah you HAVE to save for web.

OK, thanks Guys...

I'll screw with that and see what I get...

BradM Is that babe still interested in work?

Denny

24kb for a 88x88 jpeg thumb? :eek7

Yeah but she's being a tool on the pics.

Hi Guy's

Thanks a bunch... that worked great! BradM tell her it's all about promotion... the competition to get shoots for those sites is tuff!

let me know...

anyway, Thanks again... I guess you all want me to post some pics now for your help...

Denny

PS!

I'll convince her. Just getting her to do it is hard. She's a bit lazy sometimes ;)

Don't save the profile information it will decrease the file size dramatically

I have our thumbs guy use curves, adjustments,and sharpen edges to get them just right.




:thumbsup

photoshop can certainly do this.

but if you are doing many thousands of thumbs you need something faster:

Express Thumbnail Creator

I hope your using actions in photoshop, otherwise it will take ages to do...

Anyway, if you need help, just ICQ me: 209356106

Because you need a res of 72 not 180. There is your problem.

yup "saving for the web" auto makes it 72 res

For $0.10 we can do two thumbs (88x88 and 90x120) + description. All hand made in photoshop.

stupidcash offers our affiliates 88 by 88 thumbs for galleries :)
