0 Simon Veteran Posted October 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2008 350KB? Could you post the image here? Otherwise, my only suggestion is that you (gasp) convert it to a jpeg. They're ugly, but they're small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Luis.A Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I know in Photoshop you can set the quality to 8 and it will give you a good output both on file size and image quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gigapixels Veteran Posted October 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2008 You could try PNGCrush, but I don't know how effective it would be for a 350KB image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 shakey_snake Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Get pngcrush Extract the contents of the .zip it to some folder. Save the following text as a batch file: pngcrush pngcrush -brute -reduce -already 8192 -force -rem gAMA -rem cHRM -rem iCCP -rem sRGB -d crushed *.png Place the batch file in the same folder as the pngcrush.exe Anytime you want to compress a png (or pngs), place it(them) in this same folder and double click the batch file. Your "crushed" file(s) will appear in the "crushed" folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sweetsam Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yes there is. Save the image as jpg and the shadow as png and position them as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
