Ok then I will use this as an example.

I want to keep the size of this file at 70x69 pixels but I want to bring the file size down to 4K. What steps would I need to take?
 
In irfanview, on the "save picture" menu, check the box that says "Show options dialog" and it'll bring up a box with a slider marked "save quality." Lower quality means smaller file sizes. :)
 
With Irfanview and a lot of other programs it's guessing game. The only graphics program I've got that shows the expected file size is Photoshop. Irfanview does however have a very aggressive compression algorithm, you shouldn't have to move the slider too far to the left.
 
Yes it is, if you pay for it. ;) I think it's about $600 unless you can get an educational discount.
 
I've just thought of one freeware program that will do the job - the Trout Gif Optimiser (which does do jpeg files too)

edit: My mistake, it does show the expected file size but you can't choose the compression strength, you can only accept what it offers you.
 
So you like MOM too, Misfit? Great album cover and the music isn't terrible either. :rockon:
 
I'd just like to thank Raijer for my current avatar.
Anything I can resize?
BTW, I use Irfan view too! :)
Version, er, 3.91. :)

Much better than gimp! :crazyeye:
 
GIMP is actually really cool and awesome. I learned in a minute the basics of how i works, and some things took a little longer to find, but found 'em. It's easy and casual. :cool:







:p

How about a smiley holding a sign that says "Ybbor!" or something.
Maybe just a smiley?

Oh! Oh! Your face! (what? get a picture, crop, easy!)
Maybe the logo of your favorite sports team
