Because my flist is so knowledgable..

I know. I ask a lot of questions. I've learned over time that that's the best way for me to learn and a great way to get info relevant to LJ.

This time I have one for the picspammers.

I have actually opened up Photoshop and I AM PLAYING! \o/ I have figured out how to size and colour and I'm damn excited about that.

The question is. What is a good and reasonable size (kb/mb) for an image? I have no idea if I should be aiming for a say 300kb file or lower. Higher? Obviously the higher the better for quality, but what is consider too big? I suspect if a picspam is too big it would take the average person too long to dl the images. Yeah?

And umm... png or jpeg? Argh! New learning curve.

Also *HUGS* everyone for the show/tell info. SO awesome. I learned heaps. Mostly that writing seems hard!

Oh yes, Photoshop definitely takes time. There are still things I am learning about it and I have been using it for years.

I would definitely just go through all the adjustment and blending options, seeing what they do.

Ooh, here's a tip. If you get a colouring you really like, write down the steps you took to make it look that way, otherwise you will forget and not even looking at the PSD will help because you compressed a couple of layers *speaks from experience*
