Try compressing your images with Image Optimizer. It can handle .JPG, .PNG,
and .GIF images with high compression ratios. It allows you to select exactly how many colors you want in the picture for best quality and compression. You can apply compression regionally so if you are prepared to put in some time you can achieve the highest compression
and quality. Allows standard image editing such as cropping, resizing, and a little drawing. Batch processes are also supported.
