You're talking about the final rendered image, not the VUE save file, right? Number of objects won't really affect the size of the image file. Did you try opening it in Photoshop or PSP and saving it as a JPG file instead? This will compress it some... watch the settings so you don't lose a lot of quality. Another way to save on the file size is to resize the picture a bit smaller, again in Photoshop or PSP.

Use any image program that can convert or export your file to a jpg image and then post it; photoshop, psp or corel draw are the most popular programs but there are others and not everyone can afford these piggybank gobblers.
One option is to download a trial version if you don't have any. Try before you buy. Edited for typos. Hate that.

Photoshop has a 'save for web' option, you can reduce the file size considerably. Jack
