Gifs are smaller...but also lack colors...more suited to line drawings, graphics, etc., jpgs for photos.

Sometimes people make jpgs small by resizing them in FP...don't do this...FP is not a good image editor. It's best to resize, crop, optimize, them in a third party image editor (Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, PhotoElements, or IrFanView (a good freebie))

Then Import them into FP, then from within FP place them in your design. DONT manipulate jpgs too much!...jpg is a lossy format so everytime you open/save/resave you are losing pixels. Work in a non lossy format until you are happy with your image, then the last thing you do is convert to jpg. (keep the original)

Hopefully you are not gonna put 1500 images all on one page so it shouldn't be a problem ;-)
