ok, Everytime i post an image, i would like to post a Thumbnail to go with it, so people can click on the picture. To post a thumbnail, it has to be 50 x 200 it says & has to be like 15kb! In photoshop CS2 when i save or Export the pic out as a JPEG, i have to make the picture look like crap so it will be 15kb or under so i can post a thumbnail image. Most artists post huge thumbnails that are really clear! I don't get it! Please help a hungry artist......

Use "save for web." That way, you can adjust the quality so it's under 15kb.

Use the "save for the web" option. It will give you a better quality image at a much smaller file size.

And it's not 50 x 200 , which means 50 wide and 200 tall. It can be up to 200 x 200. Usually, I make my thumbnail by setting up a fixed 400 x 400 selection in photoshop. I move this selection over the area I want to highlight in the thumbnail (usually boobs or ass - that usually gets more attention). Then crop the image. Then scale down by half to get 200 x 200. It usually doesn't look like crap at that point, even at 15K limit. But if it does, try some guassian blur on the 400x400 before the reduction to 200x200.
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)
