hello! i've recently started using Photoshop Elements 13, before that i used Photoshop Elements 6.
i save my icons under .png and i've never broken livejournal's 40kb limit, but since switching programs i now do. when i do a typical save of [file → save as → format: png] my icons will be over 40kb, however if i do [save for web → png-24 & interlaced] they save under 40kb. as far as i know quality isn't lost when i do this and the icons look the exact same. is there a reason for this?
60kb
12kb
