Main idea here is to get a program that can compress to gif or jpg.
Paintshop Pro can do the Job, though I've always been a PhotoShop
passionate.

Just remember... whichever site you have, first impression of the graphics
is more important than the actual absolute quality.  By which I mean... make
a compromise between size and quality.  Try out gif, which keeps a high
quality throughout instead of jpeg, which looks muddy when overcompressing.
Though jpeg is very nice for colour-rich big photographs.  It's a matter of
experience and a good eye.  Which in its turn means you'll have to
experiment using the amount of colours in the gif, the quality of the jpeg,
whether to make it progressive or not,...

Good luck.

Would someone help me out with my graphics?  Many of them are too large
and I have resized them but they are still too large and load slowly. Do
you know of any free programs that can help me with this?
