[WEB4LIB] Optimizing Images on the Web

You can download a trial version.  If you buy before the end of this month
(not much time left, I know), they throw in a free training video by Lynda
Weinman, which is quite good -- covers plenty of Web graphics essentials in
general as well as providing specific instruction in the software.  I've
been at this a long time, and I managed to learn some stuff from it.
