Hi Lisa, I've used the desk accessory called Paint to save large BMP files into PNG, making the file sizes much smaller and with no change in quality that I could see. The drawback for you would be another step to have to do for each graphic, but at least you probably wouldn't need to buy any expensive software to save in that format. My files were black and white, so YMMV if you're using color.
