Actually I take back what I said... I must have been too tired last night. Using Save for Web does allow me to save the file at 75K or less and get acceptable quality.

Adelheid also suggested Irfanview may produce a smaller file (which it does... without hiding things in so many menus and dropdowns).

I've used Irfanview just a little bit over the last several weeks, and for a free product, it's pretty nice.

Are you using "save for Web" or just "save as...". My experience is that "save for web" makes smaller files. From what I've heard the reason is that the "Save as..." stores some additional information in the file, while "Save for Web" strips it for everything but the image data.
