I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

There's also seven of them; compressing them down to 800x600 with that nifty slider in Photoshop down to 2 would never do them justice. Plus, it's still obliterate my hosting (Which I try not to do at all costs.).

Look for nem's sig and obliterate HIS hosting.

I said COMPRESSION, not resizing. Need an example?

Same image: 300k and 15k.

Go look at Nem's wallpapers and tell me you'd do that to them.

Then shove your thumb up your ass, you dirty, dirty whore.

That was a drastic example. That was the difference between compression factor 10 and factor 99. The original image is about 1MB. I was able to compress that to about 300k without losing much quality at all.

I was showing you the difference between compression, and resizing, because you apprently thought they were the same. Of COURSE I'm not asking you to compress them THAT much, but I'm sure you could find a balance between quality and filesize. I did easily enough.

It's less work to find one of Nem's posts and get them directly from him anyway.

It is large because I'm lazy and mainly made it for myself.

The main picture is a scan of the Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence OST cover. I deleted some stuff and hodge-podged the Ghost in the Shell on top together from other scans of the album booklet.
