Quick questionIn pshop, which format image to save, uses less kbs in relation to same size pictures? And any more tips to reduce the size bar cropping, smallerness or sending the slidey bar down to Amiga levels of quality?

JPEGs are almost always the best in terms of compression ratios, unless you've got very few colours or transparency.I find the compression wizard in PSP works better than photoshop. Try changing the colour depth as well...that might help.

if you've got solid banks of colour and clear boundaries like in cartoons, use gif or pngand with png make sure you remove the alpha channel (unless you need it) and make sure it's indexed to the number of colours you want, or it'll look big and you'll join the ranks of people declaring that pngs are huge. (hint: they're not, unless you leave them with 16m colours and an alpha channel, in which case yes, yes they are.)
if you've got shading of colours and soft boundaries like in a photo, use jpg.

I make no claim to be an expertBut the gimp does a generally good job too.
(Then again I haven't used photoshop in a long time)
It also does the indexing where necessary.
