You may do a search on Google for Jpeg Optimizer or Image Optimizer which will give you a variety of softwares that will compress a 500Kb picture to a 50 or even 20Kb picture. I bought one from http://www.xat.com that works like a charm. Using it allows your web pages to load pics in no time at all and quality is not sufficiently degraded to worry about. I use it on almost everything except my archive copies. D.L. Bullock St. Louis www.thepianoworld.com
