For all intents and purposes, it's probably best to keep them in JPG format - and if you DO want to make them smaller, lower the colour format down from true colour to either 64k or 32k colours and resize to 800x600 - that, at least, will give you smaller pictures. PNG is such a PITA to deal with -AND- in the end, it's not always compatible across platforms...(IMHO) -- Mon, 24 Feb 2003 23:45:00 +1100 11:45pm up 5 days, 12:28, 6 users, load average: 0.08, 0.35, 0.43 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Remember, drive defensively!
