Richard,
I finally got around to trying your suggestions regarding changing an
image file's color depth. I'm not sure what the syntax is. Here's the
exact line of code:
export img myImage to file myFilePath as png
I've tried inserting "as raw" or even just "raw" just about everywhere I
can imagine in that command and I always come up with errors.
Your other suggestions are working out really well. I'm especially
having fun 'exporting with palette'
Many thanks!!!

"export <target> as raw..." might help, maybe even "export with
palette..." (filter the Dictionary for "export" to see the new options)
But AFAIK JPEG is always full color anyway, so the biggest reduction
in size is likely to come from setting the JPEGQuality global property
before exporting in that format.

Any such transformations will involve some fussing around, but it's
often more fun to fuss around in LiveCode than anything else. :)
