[QUOTE="joz, post: 381507, member: 70244"] Hi you designers out there, I'm working on my own skin atm and noticed that a lot of images out there being used in MP skins are not optimized whatsoever. It has a lot of meta data within some PNG images which I find totally not necessary. I used [URL="http://brh.numbera.com/software/pnggauntlet/"]PNGGauntlet[/URL] on my skin to remove all unnecessary data. You might think this is a little exaggerated and maybe you're right but as a programmer I find this something to improve on. In total it saved me 4.5MB on the total media folder. About 25% reduction. This will speed up creating cache most likely. I do not know if MP handles it as PNGGauntlet does (removing unnecessary data while creating cache) but if not it could also slightly speed up MP itself. If you use photoshop the same can be achieved by doing a "Save for web and devices" [/QUOTE]
