File :-(, x)
Source should always be a file without compression. The .jpg format almost always has a compression acted on it. Anyways if the source is already compressed, screw it theres no hope just use .jpg and if you want to keep the detail use just a tiny compression and you'll get a decent drop in file size. If you can suffer a barely noticeable detail loss, set compression a little bit more and you'll get a huge drop in file size. My standard for this huge drop (I use Macromedia Fireworks) is 80% Quality so I suppose a 20% compression and I apply progressive display for the file so it loads up in waves instead of one solid wipe.

More or less. Use .gif for simple colors. Use .jpg for compressed files with shading. Use .png for source files for everything. I don't have Photoshop so don't know about .psd, but just use .png cause its universal and you don't have to worry about it.
