The .jpg was much quicker...

Actually, I chose that number carefully, but I misstated it. [hangs head in shame and embarrassment] What I should have said was "The <span style='color:#0088AA'>file size</span> has been compressed 90%". The actual compression ratio applied in PSP was only 23%. That's part of why the detail is still so clear. The other thing I did was to re-sample the image from 72 pixels per inch up to 150 per inch. The overall resolution remained at 1024 x 768. After the re-sampling, I felt it was ready for saving, and used File/Export/JPEG. I chose the compression ratio based on the anticipated file size, and the rest is history.

Interestingly enough, in many cases you can shrink a file even smaller by reducing the number of colors used. However, sometimes that just doesn't give any better a result, so it's best to leave the color depth at whatever it was. Such was the situation here.

Enjoy!
