I use "Save for web" in Photoshop. Downsizing the image from 3200x2400 to 1600x1200 and jpeg quality of 50-60% - and that leaves my images in the 450-500 Kb range. Yes, they're big. I like to do multi-figure scenes, with interaction between many characters and a detailed setting. They don't compress well. I'm not going to reduce the quality any further, at 50% too many details are lost already. And I'm not going to reduce dimensions either, at 1600x1200 the expressions are still visible, at 800x600 they would be completely lost. If you're a dialup user, have you considered satellite? Won't help you any with uploads, but downloads are blazingly fast - usually much faster than DSL or cable.
