Then I save two more versions for use on the web with watermarks, etc.
1) Save at 80-90% via save for web, these are for members area, tour, etc.
2) Save another at 40-50% via save for web, these are for thumb galleries. It'll cut the size in half, even if you dont reduce the image size. Saves a ton of bandwidth for TGP action.

I guess I'm not as behind the times as I thought.
hehe I keep multiple versions, too, and boy am I ever glad. I've been able to fix my old masters up so they look even better than when I first posted them. Nowadays I keep my RAWs, my retouched but still original size, and then the two sizes and the watermarked version.
Thanks for the 50% tip, I hadn't thought of that. Woot!
Cheers!
