I am working on a website with logs of my various lighthouse trips, accompanied by photographs. Having split each trip into individual days, I have about 8-10 digital photos per page, which is a bunch of big files.

To get this number down, I'd like to compress them. However, I cannot figure out a good amount to compress. I tend to use Photoshop 6 for compressing my images. I use the save to web feature, however, the images are either too big (at least I think), or they become to monotonous in color.

I know that some of you have large photos that you must compress to post here. However, these do not seem to lose detail. How much do you suggest compressing so that I can achieve the same good balance?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
