How do you optimize image size?

Question is short and in title

I have tried adobe photoshop but image is not reducing the size.

 

are you changing the quality settings in the optimization menu, or when you go to "save for web" or "save as"

normally a jpg saved at 60% quality has a pretty low quality loss, go below and youll see the difference

 

save for web

 

I use Photoshop's "Save for web" option and play with image type, quality and number of colors. Sometimes GIFs work better, sometimes JPGs work better and every now and then PNGs work better (but not often). It is all a matter of trial and error for each graphic.

 

sometimes I use acdsee if I need batch

 

I prefer using image optimizer from xat.com You can try the trial version and check for yourself.

 

I use Photoshop and this http://www.webopt.com/

 

on photoshop youa re able to set the image quality..that should make the image size smaller.

 

i was really having problems with something similar to this thanks for the info
