Hello,
The Lakota regalia pic is still huge (electronically) 87+ kb's.
I will squeeze it down in PhotoShop to apprx 30K without any noticeable change if you like?
Contact me www.zone5pix.com/contactus.html and I will return it to you as an attachment.
The home page took 9 sec's for it to fully load on my cable connection.

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Hi, You would have to upload 2 images to your site (1 Thumbnail & 1 large image) Then adjust the code below to suite your images & place in an html box on your page.
Red = large popup link
Mauve= size of large pop up (worth adding 20px to this part)
Green = pop up position from top & left of screen on where it will show.
Blue=thumbnail link
Orange=is the thumbnail size.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

<a href=""#" onClick="window.open('http://www.collectors-info.com/testing/01.jpg', '','alt=some good alt text here, width=620, height=420, left=200, top=150,'); return false;""><img src="http://www.collectors-info.com/testing/tn_01.png" width=160, hight=106 border=0></a>

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut and paste the code between the lines above, pop it inti a html box & press preview to test.

Good luck.

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Hmm, in deed tricky.
I would love to give your idea a go, but could you help me with that?
I don't really know how to do the two seperate?

Cheers Chris, for your time and help, I really appreciate this :)

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Strange one? I tried a couple of test pages with jpg & png with different settings, & got the same as you have on your pages. The jpg's are ok & reducing. But the png's increase in size.

As said earlier, with your size images it loads ok. But personally i would use 2 separate images as a pop up with some html code. Tend to get a better finish this way.

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Good thought, just checked, and I have ticked the box.....?????

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Whats worth a quick look is to see that you have ticked the "Generate Thumbnail Images" in the gallery properties area.

[redkate5]

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

With the gallery.
Could that be it? maybe the other 13kb is because of the gallery?

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

It is a strange one. How are you placing the images on your pages.
With just a pop up or the BV gallery?.

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Hi Chris,

Those are one and the same pic though? If I was to reduce the size of the main one, wouldn't that change the pop-up too??

and, can I reduce them with the pixresizer from bluevoda? or do I have to this with another program? (only other I have is the basic paint)

Thanks for your feedback and help Chris, I really appreciate it :)

Me again, I just checked the properties of those particular pictures. (on what the sizes are) but it tells me that they are the same size as the thumbnail??????
Am I missing something here? how can they be bigger in size on my site, while they are the same size as my harddrive???
I'm confusseled? ? ? ?

Re: Very nervouse,but here goes

Hi, your sites coming on well & got some nice things for sale. The only thing i found strange is that a lot of your thumbnails images are actually larger in KB's the the larger pop up it self.??
IE: Thumbnail http://www.nativetreasures.co.uk/tn_...mmy_Singer.png is 40KB & the larger image
http://www.nativetreasures.co.uk/221...mmy_Singer.jpg is only 27Kb
This is on quite a few images.
The pages still load quite well, but would be even faster with a little change. The ping images that you are using are a very good type of image to reduce down to 3 or 4 kb without loosing any quality.
