i don't have a little picture to go along w/ my username (avatar) and i'd like to make one. i've tried creating a 50px by 50px image to upload, but the file size is always too big. i've seen some very nice avatars on psc and i just wonder, how do you get them to a small file size?

any answers would be greatly appreciated

thank you.

when you go to save the picture.......choose the "save for web" option, and you can adjust the optimization/quality.......bring it down, and you'll notice the file size will come down too

thank you, i used save for web and realized it was very easy, i don't know why saving it using "save as..." makes it so much larger in terms of file size. thank you for the suggestions and sharing your experience.
