Yes, much. The reason is: in order to do the shadow, it was using the transparency (alpha channel) feature of the PNG file format. PNG is lossless compression, which of course will never be as efficient as lossy compression like JPG -- which doesn't support transparency. There'd be other ways to make drop shadows, as separate images (ideally with CSS tricks). -- Matthew Miller [email protected] <http://mattdm.org/> The Definitive Pentax P-TTL Flash Model Guide: <http://pttl.mattdm.org/> -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
