Thread: How to reduce size of special images?

Hi

I love the options in BV for images - such as reflections, stencils and shapes - but does anyone know how to reduce the size of these??

Example:
http://www.make-website.com/images.html

After publishing, the special images have a BV transparent gif over them - which all say 43 bytes. (trans.gif)
But they are all actually around 100 KB in size.

Any ideas??

Mmm, must admit i am not getting this IE: http://www.make-website.com/bv02710.png seems fine?????

Hi Chris

Do you mean that you don't see a trans.gif of 43 bytes when you look at the properties of each image?
(apart from the original image)

I do!
I thought everybody would, and then people might confused with me saying that the images were around 100 KB each.
I thought the trans.gif was meant to be there (something BV does to .png images)

The trans.gif wasn't the prob though - it was how to reduce the size of the images.

I just worked out how to reduce the sizes though - convert the .png images to .jpg

Thanks for jogging my brain!
