So how or why, is a snap of your poor injured car 2.7 megabytes? I'm out 
at the end of the DSL range. At 768k, it was painfully slow to appear.

I don't think web images generally need to be 16-bit and uncompressed. 
The browsers just throw away the extra bits for display. Even highest 
quality JPEG, which amounts to lossless compression, is only 700k. I 
post my best images at PS's JPEG level seven, 'cause try as I might, I 
cann't see a difference between that and higher settings. At that, your 
image would be 131k, load in a flash, and look the same in a browser.

Just a thought.
