Thanks Andrew. With indexing we can reduce them to around 70kb? Any other
suggestions then for compression of those images to around 30kb which we can
use the gd library or imagemagick to convert to thumbnails?

~~PNG is the wrong choice if you need small files - PNG uses lossless

~~
~~For example:

~~Your original 1024x768 JPG was 98635 bytes. Scaled to 512x384

~~
~~I imagine you'll get similar results for all your images.
