Good thing is you remembered about the book you did. Now you will search for it i beleive, maybe even take a picture of cover so we can all see it.
Some things will never change, but i understand them too, most of them are kids, some will learn some will stay lazy. I remember when i was starting downloading mods, didn't have internet at the time so i only downloaded as much as i can (kits mostly and some minor patches) from the neighbour and a cousin. But since i never found some teams i started learning eventually started making kits in Paint (it was a Pain without T, PS was a "spanish village" for me, didn't even had PC to run it ahahah).
I'm sad i lost all those first kits made in Paint, i worked for days on one kit only, saving file after every 3 clicks with mouse. After some time i decided to learn PS (without tutorials, just "playing" and exploring).
So i can be only gratefull to Soccer Gaming and Fifa because i learned a lot of here.
Now it's a lot easier to learn anything, if you have desire for it of course. A little part of my biography hahah.
Back to Fifa graphics.
You can always "
Save for Web" PNG rather than "
Save as" PNG, because you will not lose much of a quality, but look at the differences in weight sizes:
