Aye, Photoshop has the worst compression codecs around, they always have. At stock, how your image is in the gallery...? I downloaded the image to disk, opened it in Riptide, and went to "Save As". Riptide brings it up stock at : 304,586. Almost 200k below what you saved it at. That is with no compression loss at all. Riptide allows you to set your ouput size, and will convert any image to any other type. ANY image type. Well, it won't do Maya .iff files, but any OTHER type. So, if we wanted, we could convert your image down even farther. If I crank the 8-bit scale to "40", then your image size drops to 198,318, which is just small enough for the forums, for example. Again, no visible loss of quality. If you're interested in Riptide let me know and I'll dig up the link for it. Amazing program, it does batch processing as well. But don't let it worry you! Most people should, by now, be patient with the internet. If they aren't, they should learn a thing or two from Bryce's rendering engine!
