I beg to differ. iPhoto greatly reduces the filesize, but perhaps not as
much as you want it to. For instance, I have a 1.1 MB 2048x1524 picture in
iPhoto, that I published and it is now 91,7 MB large on .mac. I wouldn't
call a reduction of 11-12 time something that  "doesn't do much for kb size"
:-)  I am happy about the file size it creates, as it does not degrade the
quality of the image (too much), even when printing. To be fair, I don't
consider medium quality good enough, even on dial-up.

If you export the picture and reduce the size outside iPhoto, and then
import it again and publish it, you degrade the quality twice, which in my
book is considered a bad solution, except if you are using TIFF or some
other lossless format before publishing of course.

Cheers,

Kim
