So I've decided to play a bit of skaven, and after a few games I think I'll be playing them for a while. So I decided to make some player portraits for them, but after searching for, downloading, and resizing the pictures to 114x177, more than half of them are above the 10k limit. I've done player portraits before (see my Lizardman and Norse team) but I've never had problems like this. Usually, two to four are above the limit. Those, I convert to .gif, which usually helps the size go down, but I lose quality. With more than half of my team above 10k, I'd rather not lose quality on so much of them. Is there another way to keep the same (ish) quality, while still keeping the 114x177?
thanks

Download GIMP. It's a free image editor and you can reduce the quality somewhat, leave the pictures as JPEGs and easily meet the 10240 byte limit. Quality is still quite good. |

Screw that. ImRe. It lets you resize images in batches so its faster without degrading the image quality like GIMP.
And it makes perfect sense Kryten would advise GIMP....

...Save as .GIF files using whatever the program you have. |

ImRe. Seriously. It's free, it's easy, and it makes file sizes tiny while keeping good picture quality. |

Photoshop has the option of "save for web" there you can save as GIF or JPG with more compression keeping nice quality. Anyway 114x177 is so small that almost every program would handle that 10K size with decent quality. I like photoshop cos you can use it for everything to create your portraits ( combine layers, add efects, resize, compress, save...) |
