I use Adobe Photo Deluxe on a Mac OS X. Where would I compress my images in
that program?

There’s a distinction tha needs to be made here. The compression of a photo
is not as important as the overall size of the photo. Keep in mind that your
camera or scanner scans in an image of a given size (which these days is
pretty darn big). What you want to do is to reduce the size ofthe picture so
a person can load it quickly and view it without scrolling their window.
I use Photoshop, so I will make an assumption that your program is pretty
close to mine. What you want to do is go to the Image Size box (should be in
the Image tab) and change your size to something like a 640 pixel width. That
will make the picture fit most screens and do a lot toward making your file
smaller. If you want to keep your original image, go to Save as... and rename
the smaller file you just did.

I always make my images 8 inches across and they still take a while to load. I
want my images to be a decent size and quality but have a fast loading time. I
noticed if I save my images in a gif file other than a jpeg file it loads
faster.
If you guys prefer this
gif image
to this
jpeg
image, I’ll start saving my pics in gif.
