Fair enough! I'll look at compression. I'm puzzled though, because when the image is loaded and compressed I can see onscreen that it looks fabulous. However, once I
type <ctrl-s> I can actually see the image distort.



I would have thought compression had already taken place by then, but I'll try changing settings. Thanks for the tip!

Compression would take place when the document is saved, not before.
