RE: I need to do some file reduction.

Several options are avialable to you.

1. Reduce resolution to 72 dpi if not already done.

PSP 5  Can't see how to do this, normally, Image, Resize/Resample,
       and choose a new resolution (Picture Publisher, etc)

2. Decrease colours used

PSP 5  From menus, Colours, Decrease colour depth

3.  Increase the JPEG compression and reduce the quality.

PSP 5  File, Save as, Options, fiddle to taste
       (use a new name so you can go back in case you go too far).

4.  Try saving as a gif file.

PSP 5  File, Save as, Compuserve bitmap *.gif, sometimes a jpeg
       with few gradations, and large areas of similar colour will
       look fine as a gif (256 colour max) and be smaller.

5.  Try an altavista search for "web graphics optimising" or similar for
    further handy hints.
