[DM-MUG] iWeb pictures

[Alan Hansen]

If I remember correctly, with the photos I have been working with they
originally are like 1.6Mb in size but when I import them into iWeb they come
in as about 166k JPG files which is like the default Medium setting.  They
also could be exported at the smallest size from iPhoto and brought back in
and they would only be like 122k JPG files.  Another suggestion would be if
iWeb is cropping the file in a way you don¹t want it to you could crop it
and modify it in iPhoto and then bring it in to iWeb.  Hope this helps!
