Well, I have about decided upon the following proceedure:

Starting with a ProphotoRGB, 16bit, 10x7.5 inch image
Resample, Bi-cubic Sharper, 72ppi or 100bpi
Convert to sRGB
Convert to 8 bit
Save for web

That should keep the quality as high as reasonably possible.

Now to see if I can work up a script to do that automatically. I had 
been intending to work on that when ever I got a hold of one of those 
round tuit things anyway <grin>. Just need to add a couple of steps.

It really seems to be the conversion from 16 bit Prophoto that was the 
problem. I did not have it when using 16 bit Adobe98, so there must be 
some kind of glitch in Adobe's SFW script. Maybe the simplest thing 
would be going back to Adobe98.

Now anyone want to tell me why Thunderbird will not let me paste in 
stuff except as a quote? That started a few upgrades back. Whatever 
happened to software that worked the way you expected it to? Don't 
remind me, it never existed and probably never well.
