The top one is 640 x 480 @ 72 ppi. That does not look too bad on my
800 x 600 pixel screen. File size can also be reduced by lowering JPG
quality, which is hard to notice. Some graphics programs have utilities
that do all the stuff semiautomically. People who put out big bucks for
high-res. digital cameras, who have way-broad-band hook-ups and huge
monitor screens, may not see the advantage of reducing file size, =
however.
