Re: FLASH: bitmaps in flash

[brzys]

Hi Susanne,


I had a similar dilemma with a client. I took it down to 72 resolution, that

took it down a notch, in PhotoShop. I tried saving it out at a lower

compression value, which by the way, looks like crap! In the end, I gave the

client a large file. I explained "Well it's going to be a large file, won't

load very fast, etc." The client said "It didn't matter" so the client got a

large file! Ahem, 'always give the client what the client wants!'


I must say, those files are diffantly pretty this way, and darn right large!


See for yourself:
