I followed the directions exactly and still can't get it under 32kb, even when I reduce it to "1," which is just some ugly pixels. Ugh, my goodness! I'm usually really good with computers and photoediting, too.

Not sure if this will help, but when on the resize/resample step, change your DPI to 72.

3.94 meg. Ahuhu. When I crop & resize it to the avatar size, its about 36kb.
I will have to try that.

Can we lighten the requirements? I can get it down to 8-12kb, but can't seem to get 6kb or below.

Also check in that step what it is saying your inches are.

Let me adjust the tutorial, the dpi and inches are high on a lot of images.

How much would it be to simply raise the minimum to 10kb?

It's programmed into the forum that way.
If you make sure that your inches are also under 2, than it should work out. I used a file that was much larger in size, and even though it was set to 120 pixels, it was reading that it was 5 inches, where the other smaller file was under 2 inches at 120 pixels. It looks like 120 pixels for an avatar should be 1.67"

I'm running some of the larger files through the same process, and I'm not getting any larger files than 13 KB at %100. Maybe I just don't have the epic proportions of the photographs you guys have. I don't know how to trouble shoot that because it's not happening on my computer.
Maybe it's better to use GIMP for a file that large.
*Edit:
Ok, this is something that might work for those gigantic files. Try to resize/resample the entire image first to something under 10", preferable along the 5 - 7 inches mark. Then crop the avatar area and go forth. That *should* work.

Maybe it's my screen, but your original avatar didn't look like it needed anything anyway.
I'm sorry this program didn't work for you. I put in some suggestions for larger files, but I have no way of trouble shooting since my photos aren't anything that large to begin with
