Photoshop 5.5 - I use a Mac but I think it's the same routine. Help menu
(far right) bottom item 'Resize Image' and it walks you through. Select
'Online' instead of print in the first window. That optimises for monitor
display and reduces size. At 450 pxels wide (second screen) the size drops
to 65k on the Mac (thats the minimum size allocation, so it's actually
smaller). You end with a separate image called 'Resize Assistant.' When you
save, you're asked to nominate the quality setting. If you select around
600 pixels wide and a quality setting of 6-7, you should be around the
80-100k.
