Nope, bmp's rule.

Nice to have a ADSL. And plenty of web-space

I use Corel, Open it in 24bit, resample it to 8-bit ( you'll notice VERY little difference in color) but a HUGE difference in file size. knock the puppy down to 96 DPI, Export as a JPG with 50% compression and Whalla!!!! clean and the file size is small.

Open the bmp (duh). Save as .psp (paintshop pro type file) This will save at 24bit.
(Note: PSP saves all the bmp/psp info in memory and dicks up other saves, so...)
Close the picture and reopen the psp file.
Now do a save as .jpg and you should find that the distortion is less than converting from the .bmp
Try the same thing with gif: Open the .psp file, go to colors - decrease color depth - select 256. Now do a save as .gif

PSP seems to deal with 24 bit bmp images rather sloppy except to convert them to their own proprietary format. They think they are sneaky, but we know they're just stupid.
