Maybe....sounds like a lot of work though!  I always found saving images in
photoshop to be a huge pain.  I seldom use it anymore actually since I
bought Adobe Image Styler.   You can set your export settings once and every
image will be saved according to that.   If you need to change a setting you
can do so very easily(switching from gif to jpg or increasing or decreasing
colours, transparency on, off etc. )

I "try" to use web safe colours to begin with....however I don't do so
strictly...I like to do a lot of shading anyhow, which means the colours are
altered anyhow.
