If he means compression, this tool might be useful for JPEGs: http://freshmeat.net/projects/jpegoptim/ From the description: "jpegoptim is a utility for optimising JPEG files. It provides lossless optimisation (based on optimising the Huffman tables) and 'lossy' optimisation based on setting a maximum quality factor." Since it can perform lossless optimisation, it can shrink a JPEG image's file size without affecting the quality at all. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "It is particularly easy to cut down the load on the [UNIX] system so that only the minimum number of services is running. This reduced complexity [and] aids stability and transparency." -- Microsoft, 'Converting a UNIX .COM Site to Windows', 2000-22-08
