Why not work in a software package that support JPG or GIF saves directly?
Save them as GIFs while you are working on them since this is a loss-less
format. The jpg format reduces bits in the resulting file and thus quality
as well. Use a jpg save for your final format that will be used to display
on the web (you may find a well optimized GIF with Ulead's Smartsaver will
do just fine, as in the example I sent you previously).

I haven't work with a software package that ONLY saves in BMPs, since...
dare I say it... PaintBrush!

Subject: Question about BMP. size


Hi,
I am making bmp's for eventual jpeg/gif, and they are in the size range
of up to 10 MB's (using another system)(PC)
Could anyone thing of ANY advantage of working on them at this magnitude
instead of reducing them as BMP's?
Thanks
Tanya
