Hi. I've made a pack of 20 different fabric textures in a very high resolution that i'd like to put up for sale, but the problem is that the pack is quite large in file-size. It's 42 mb's zipped. :-S I've compressed the images to 95% compression, I think going further down would mess up the quality of the images, but i'd also hate to resize the images. Any ideas what I can do?

I would split the pack into 2 zips instead of 1....I think that would help with the size limit..... :)

Correct. You could offer it as 2 seperate products or sell it as a shippable CD. Clint

Put as much of it as you can in the package for sale with the rest as "bonus" textures that you would e-mail people that buy it the link to.

Even better idea, Farside. Then you can make the zips as small and as many as you want. Plus people love bonuses-- I don't much cause I only get one chance to download it. But most people do. Emily

if you are saving as jpgs, and have Photoshop use the 'save to web' option, that makes smaller jpgs than the regular jpg export.

Listen to Lyrra-- she speaks the truth-- it cut my jpgs in half. Emily

I tried the save-for-web option in Photoshop, and it worked beautifully! I took out two of the textures and i'll be putting those up as freestuff. :) Thanks Lyrra :D

yay!

see what I mean? it uses the same jpg creation algorithm as Imageready does ..smaller crisper files. NEVER use plain old 'save as' jpg again :P

Plus you can set up an imageready batch file to convert an entire folder of tifs to jpg automatically. I do it all the time .. have to with the volume I put out these days :P
