[Web4lib] Optimizing graphics

[Thomas Edelblute]

I second the vote for GIMP.  Resizing files there is not a problem.

Seems to me that Gimp <http://www.gimp.org/> will work just fine for that
process.  When you save an image,
just specify the file quality.  The lower the quality /  resolution - the
smaller the file.

They also just released a new animation package.
