I've been redesigning my homepage in PS7/IR (previously it was all done in GoLive). All I want is a simple entry page with a rollover. Even though it has only 6 slices (5 plus rollover) the images folder is well over 400k, hardly user-friendly. An old trick of mine was to open GIF files in Appleworks and save them, which cut them down drastically, but this makes the quality very watercolourish and makes the file sizes even larger. From my experience with PS7 and OSX, the file sizes will be significantly smaller when uploaded to the site anyway, but does anybody have suggestions? Could I optimise the files as jpeg, and how? I always assumed GIFs were small.
