Problem is that Photoshop by default includes a lot of extra stuff into saved files - for jpegs: be sure that image preview (a smaller version of the jpeg) isn't being saved in the file, and also be sure embedded information such as profiles are turned off - they generally aren't needed for images intended for the web.

Many consumer, and even free open-source, programs optimize better than Photoshop does ... give Paint Shop Pro or similar a try.

More smilies are coming - it's on my list of things to do.

Ah! I didn't even think about that, I have a few other image editors, but photoshop takes the cake for functionality, as far as I'm concerned. I'll try stuff with Picasa, sometime. Thanks for the tip, maybe stuff like that
should be more widely known.

If you need anyone to help with new smilies, I'm sure there are plenty of photoshop profficient members here, including myself.
