Is this for yourself or to distribute? Compressed TIF will save a little harddrive space. JPG at 99% will also save. Photoshop's Save for Web (Image Ready) is excellent for this. Try different compression percentages and see the results before saving. Remember, as long as the pixel dimensions aren't reduced, the space you save on your harddrive has nothing to do with the space it takes up in memory. It will still be 8 megs in memory. I think most people don't realize that a 4000x4000 texture map takes up 32 megs of memory.
