hi, i've got some images that i want to post on singastro to get some comments and feedback to improve it, but the pics file size is much larger than the maximum allowed. how do i make my image's file size small enough to post?
i tried putting it in photoshop and clicked "saving it for the web" which made the file small enough but when i tried to post it here i got a message which said that type was not allowed..
thanks

what file extension did you save under?
i think it would be safer if you save it under jpg or gif

you should "save as" jpg files. and normally there is a slider bar to indicate how small you want to shrink. set the file to around 40-50K should be ok.
