How do you make a screenshot for a level preview with a decent size? Whenever I take a screenshot on my computer, the file is 2.25 mb. That's a ridiculous size but I don't know how to make them smaller!

Change the image format from .BMP to .JEPG
That should lower the size significantly

Most of us use a combination of IrfanView and MSPaint.
If you paste into IrfanView and save the .jpg file, don't forget to open it again in MSPaint and save it. This will reduce the file size dramatically.

What? There is no need to use Paint!
Check the save settings on IrfanView. There's a quality/size slider for JPG compression levels.

I find fireworks impractical.. its sometimes overkill - when it comes to just viewing files...
but it is a good tool...
