Unless you know how to make the background transparent, just use jpeg. Especially if it's colorful, as gif images can only display 256 colors.AznKhmerBoi wrote:What do you save it as then?

Pfft, done right you can use 32-64 colors and make it a really small file.BoringSupreez wrote: Unless you know how to make the background transparent, just use jpeg. Especially if it's colorful, as gif images can only display 256 colors.

Any way to resolve the fact that all my picture files are too damn big (in terms of KB)?

Let me guess: it goes along the lines of "I was too lazy to find and resize a good avatar, so I just made a blue square and uploaded it."Flake wrote:It's a long story.brunoafh wrote:but I can say that I'd really like to know what the hell is up with Flake's avatar

Re: Whos avatar annoys you the most?
A story as old as the hills. People were bugging me to get a avatar after two avatar-less years on the board. Originally I was going to try and take a screen shot of the default forum view and make a square of that color. Kind of an invisible avatar. But then I decided I'd rather use a color that I liked.BoringSupreez wrote:Let me guess: it goes along the lines of "I was too lazy to find and resize a good avatar, so I just made a blue square and uploaded it."Flake wrote:It's a long story.brunoafh wrote:but I can say that I'd really like to know what the hell is up with Flake's avatar
