Making an avatar picture

Postby MiniNinjaMk5 on Tue May 22, 2012 11:59 pm

Hey guys,

I'm a bit inept as far as computers are concerned, and was hoping someone could help me with this.
Now I quite fancied adding an avatar picture but while I am able to resize it to 90x90 I can't get it down to anything like 6kb in size, which it is saying is the maximum size for an uploaded or linked image (there is an error message each time I try)
Does anyone have any idea of how I can make the image smaller in file size? I have photoshop and have already made it 'lowest' quality!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

If you have PS you should use the "Save for web" alternative. That makes it look ok on the net while still within the limits, something that just saving a jpeg won´t do.
