My first question is, what format does the app your using output the image as? Secondly, what apps are you using to do any psot work and or compress your images with? Here's what I do... In MojoWorld I output the images as a PNG or TIFF file.. I do any postwork in Photoshop usually. Then I save it as a JPEG, at the highest setting. next I open the image in PhotoImpact.. I do my "real compression" there. why? because it offers more flexibility in compression than Photoshop. IMHO I don't like to go below 90% in that app.. I'd rather resize than go with more compression. I try to keep my images that I post under 250KB. The biggest thing, as far as your question, is to make your thumbnails from the compressed JPEG, not the original render. I try to keep my thumnails around 10K or less I think they come out pretty clear "pushinfaders"
