[QUOTE="lil, post: 151547"] Aww thanks :flower: If only I had a bit more time to do some more, anyway! Need not moan. Indeed you make an excellent point, I would jump at a Painter update in a heartbeat, so long as it didn't have a reputation for being buggy/unstable :flower: So in that case, that parallels completely with Photoshop in your instance and there are even a number of features I'd enjoy. However, instead of upping just Photoshop to CS2 I am seriously considering in the future Photoshop to CS2 Studio Standard (to get Illustrator and InDesign too). That said I am presently rather enamoured with iWork... :flower: which would be substantially cheaper... Myself - I have not seen drastic changes in image size between PS 7 and PS CS/CS2. I'll try and check out the file size difference for you today. Mind you most image formats will offer an improvement over .bmp to say .png like you say, though both use lossless compression (unlike say JPEG), BMPs only compression trick is RLE encoding. Things like GIF use LZW compression (bit like zipping the graphic except your using a compression method much like the LHA/LZX archive schemes), however that was a grey area till recently as Unisys' patent or something expired on the LZW mechanism. TBH - I'm not even sure what compression mechanisms PNG offers, I have to admit I most often save in JPEG or TIFF. I'll try and find out though! Vicky [/QUOTE]
