Yeah, and Macromedia's Fireworks is made for that purpose... it's not some turbo professional program for drawing with all those fancy effects like in Adobe Photoshop, but it's main purpose is to optimize pictures for faster loading from the web... it has web optimization integrated in intself. When you want to save your picture file, you are not just able to choose in between standard color palletes, but also, you are able to save your pictures with only 3, 6, 7, 21, 43, 41, 29 colors... whatever you want... you can choose how much colors you wanna see in that particulat picture file... you want picture with only 5 colors ? No problems, you can do that... you also have option to eliminate all those colors that are in standard palete, but were not used by your picture file anywhere in picture area... wonderful features. I can shrink file size from 300 and something kb, to just 25 or 40-and-something kb... great for web designers...
