i save my poser renders first as bmp-files. after postworking i save them in PNG file format (lossless, but only 30-50% filesize in compariosn to BMP file format).

for web publishing I also use Irfan (great tool BTW, i registered my copy for 20$;
irfan (the programmer) is a nice guy, i think he lives in slovenja or austria and speaks german as well).
I load my images in irfanviewer and resave them as jpg. you may use the slider for Save Quality.
i mostly use a quality of 80%, which is sufficient for most purposes. a 1024x768 images is
most within a range of 200-300 KB. you may experiment with the slider, check filesize and
image quality. works fine for me :)
there is also a plugin for jp2 file format in irfan.
