the confusing advice thread! Iwerber; saving for web just compresses the image and puts it into a web safe format, it's a shortcut basically, you don't have to use it. What you have to do is make sure your image is saved as a JPG, GIF or PNG and try to make the file size as small as possible for example by setting JPG image quality when you save it, experiment with a few quality settings to see what looks good.
