Kinda funny, I�ve been using PS for years and you get in a habit of doing thing a certain way and then you find an easier way of doing something or a tool that you never knew of. Guess I�m tool old school, been using PS since PS 4, guess I�m just getting set in my ways and you �young wiper snappers� (waves cane) just got to show me up. stick out tongue

I've had PS for...5 years now, and I only just learned about that about 6 months ago. I used to make a new layer, fill with white, set to fill to 0%, and do the stroke that way stick out tongue

I think that's a really cool idea...how about the basics of blending an image, how to place your image so you don't have too much empty space, and the basics of text?

Not bad

image quality's kinda crap, but tutorials can end up being quite huge if you do high-quality.

Put in something about Save For Web, I have to tell everyone about that stick out tongue

New Layer, Select All, Edit > Stroke is much faster.

Is there any other way to get a sig under 30kb on PSP than having to lower the compression? And how do you do it with a .png and .gif?

PNGs you can't lower compression on.

For GIFs, you need to lower the number of colors.

And nope, the only way you can lower filesize is to lower the quality and compress it more.

Only by making it a 8 color PNG, otherwise you can't. It's a lossless filetype.

PNG compression is lossless, meaning that it will look the same regardless of compression level.

(please log in to view the image)

There are a few ways to lower the size of a .PNG file. Not just by changing it to an 8-bit indexed palette, like a .gif.

What the hell program is that in?

And compressing something will cause it to lose quality. It's what it does.

The program is called GIMP, it is free to download. You can also use PNGcrush, it is free as well.

'For image editing, either professional or otherwise, PNG provides a useful format for the storage of intermediate stages of editing. Since PNG's compression is fully lossless--and since it supports up to 48-bit truecolor or 16-bit grayscale--saving, restoring and re-saving an image will not degrade its quality, unlike standard JPEG (even at its highest quality settings).'

If you want take a look at the complete page look here. That might help you out a bit.
