Pjanak - sorry you've run into the forum 200KB limit.

I usually upload images under 1000 pixels long, saved from Poser at 90% JPEG and they are usually less than 200K. Sometimes I have to save from Poser at 75% JPEG quality and they fit.

Failing that, I bring them into Photoshop which has a superior JPG exporter, but you only get to use that if you do File/Save for Web. If you use File/Save As it uses a different, inferior JPEG exporter.

Anyway, using File/Save For Web, select JPG and adjust quality. The resulting size is shown in the preview, as well as what it will look like. If you find that the image ends up looking really bad (because you have to drop to 40% quality, for example), then I would suggest you back out of the export and reduce the image size first.

Images with lots of "texture detail" in them will require more bytes for the same image size than other images that have large smooth gradients. An image full of leaves and shrubbery always takes more space than one clear sky.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
