Image intensive site, workarounds.
I'm putting together a site for an artist, so it's filled with images.
Problem is that after including only 10 .jpgs of maximum width/ bredth 300 pixels (40 compression) I am already up to 300K in filesize, which is one minute download time for those on a 56K modem, and thus unexceptable.
Would the workaround be to make every one of those images a .swf movie and load seperately? Or is there a more practical way?
Another thing, adjusting the jpg quality settings in the publish settings doesn't appear to do jack, even setting the .jpg quality to zero doesn't affect the filesize, or the quality of the .jpgs for that matter, is that normal?
