For the Macintosh community there is a great shareware program called
Graphic Converter that not only reads about every graphics format out there,
but also provides some pretty darned good photo editing tools. For typical
on-screen viewing, there's no reason to have a file much larger that 50Kb
after editing. No doubt comparable software exists for PC's as well.
