Hi Adrian, if they are photos save them in Jpeg format for the web. Use as high a compression you can without any noticeable loss in image quality.
Gif are only suitable for simple logos or when transparency is required. It is
not really suitable for photo images.
Having said that, with Photoshop you would use "Save for Web and Devices" under
the file menu to convert to an internet savvy Gif. Here you can fine tune your
Gif for minimum size vs optimal appearance.
Now about the non-Latin characters. Save for Web in CS1 was finicky and if it
detected any odd characters in the path/name of the file it would not filter
them out and spit the dummy. Best work around is to save as an 8.3 file name eg
image.gif without uppercase characters and other punctuation, the save
directly to desktop.
Later versions of CS did not report this error.
Regards,
Eugene
