Rule of thumb for compression is JPEG for pictures, and GIF for text and cartoon drawings.

A JPEG quality of more than 60 is adding file weight that you will NEVER see with the naked eye.

And when saving text as GIF, be sure to always select PERSPECTIVE PALETTE, and color reduction in text layers (the little button to the right of PERSPECTIVE will open a prompt that will allow you to reduce colors in text layers )

Great topic !!
I am doing a seminar at Cybernet, and I think I will take a moment to go over image compression, as it is something that MANY PPL don't know what they are doing ....
