Reducing image file sizes in FrontPage

If you want to reduce an image's file size--but still have it appear just as large on your page--you'll need to reduce the number of different colors that appear in the file. (You can usually do so without affecting the image's quality.) Several popular Web site "tune-up" services can help you. All you do is enter your image file's URL, and the site generates versions that are up to 90 percent smaller than the original. You just pick the version you like, save it to disk, and then import it into your Web.

If you have Microsoft PhotoDraw, which ships with Office 2000 Premium, you have access to a similar feature through the Save For Use In Wizard. Choose Save For Use In from the File menu, select On The Web, and click Next. PhotoDraw will then generate several GIF and JPEG alternatives for you to choose from.
