depends what kind of picture it is. for JPEGs saving them as progressive instead of the other one will usually cut the size in half

i've tried it! dosn't work 2 good! i did that 2 a pis of 120x100 and i put it low at the pics quality and it still has 33k and i want it below 25k!

well, there's the problem... 1200x1000 pics wont come down to below 25K. not unless you drastically reduce quality. anything over 1024 pizels wide won't reduce down that much, especially if it's a NFS screenshot. i find 800x600 works best for screenies.

Take the pics at full reso, then resize them to 800x600 then save them as jpg and turn down the jpg quality until its the size you want. If the quality gets too low, change it too 400x300 etc.

i find that opening your picture with ms paint then saving it as a jpeg reduces the size heaps! try that.

That's because MSPaint uses an absolutely horrendous JPEG compression factor that completely destroys image quality along the way.
