Any tutorials on jpg compression would be good! I find that sometimes that image dimension and weight (kb) do not go hand in hand, ONLY because members feel they need to save their jpg at the highest possible quality, which makes for un-necessarily Kb-big jpg's... I use mostly Thumbsplus (or IrfanView) for converting/saving to jpg's, it uses a percentage when saving as a jpg. I reccomend 85%-90% quality to members. Any higher and (most of the time) you will see no better quality, but your KB will exponentially grow... *Point is (if there truly is one here in my rambling...) that cutting down on dimensions won't always cut down on Kb too much as some would still save at 100%. BUT, education on jpg compression just might do the trick... ---------- Yes, Renderosity brought on the limited daily upload because the majority of members wanted that (or didn't care either way), because they didn't want to see their pics buried so quickly. Of course, there would be members who would want and probably even suggest paying some $ for more uploads, so that was put into place in case anyone wanted it, is all. ---------- No, Renderosity has NO problem with server space. We had some problems with site speed in the recent past, but we have seemed to find the right balance now to keep things flowing as well as possible. I'm not saying it's perfect for everyone all the time, but its now overall better. (famous last words, lol) AgentSmith Mod
