Thanks Marek.  I have started addinga few in JPEG but with the thousands of photos already posted on thesite it would take forever to go back and convert them all.  TheExoticRainforest site has over 300 pages and some have 10 or morephotos per page. 

All the photos are converted in PhotoShop 7.0 and the default forinternet use in the program is GIF.  If I convert in PhotoShop to JPEGthe files are twice as large as GIF.  I'm sure newer versions of theprogram do it better but since I'm retired I have no need to spendanother thousand dollars on a newer version.  The original to the photoyou mentioned was in Photoshop PDF format, 11 megapixel and wasenormous.  I would love to go back and reconvert that one but theoriginal file was accidentally destroyed so it is gone forever.

Come visit!

Steve

You own a dreamland of every aroidenthusiast!
Anyway I must tell you it again -about your photos. The GIF format reduces colors to 256 (look at thePhilo leaves in the photo "atrium combined"), the colors are notnatural and the file takes more than 400 kB of memory.
If you used the JPG format, the filesize would be smaller and in full colour.
