I've got a question on that "save for web" function.
When I open that dialog box, and have it set to show four versions of the
image, the first choice (top left) is always MANY kbs larger than the file
in the version I most recently saved. Does anyone know why this would be? It
seems counter-productive to me.

I'm not sure if Photoshop6 has this capability (I seem to recalled being
added with Photoshop6.5) but look for the "Save for Web" function in the
File menu (or Cntrl-Alt-Shift-S).  The save for web function will allow you
to finely adjust the compression of jpegs and gifs.

If you don't have this function in your version of Photoshop, you might
check Ulead's webpage.  They used to make a "save for web" Photoshop plugin.
