I can't seem to be able to get a file down to this size...
6kb
I am trying to get a file down to 6KB so I can useit as the file to spray paint in
half- life...problem is I can't get the file size down from 13KB...any ideas? I have the little KID A bear set up in the right 'size' file just not the right 'size' you get me?
Thanks,
Ian

Try to use big blocks of a solid color. Make sure the dimensions of the image are divisible by 8 (I'm not sure of the specs on HL decals). Avoid antialiasing. If it's a JPG, turn up blurring.
In short, make it look more like crap.
And if all else fails, just use the goatse pic like everyone else. |

use photoshop's gif exporter.
before exporting, make it indexed color, and say, maximum of 10 different tones/shades?

ok, setting it as an indexed colour got it down, but it's like 4.13KB now, im wondering if it has to be exactly 6KB because all of the others are 6KB... *shrugs*

too my knowledge, the damn bear is black and white, so convert it to 256 greys.
open up one of the original half-life spraycan-picture files and make your new ones attributes exactly the same(ie: same bit depth, same size, same everything)
