Hello

well as usual it depends of various things, but i think that a jpg format is perfect for what you offer...

one advice could be use a small picture in the page and the posibility of a bigger one with a click or something like that. In this way, the user can take a loor or almost every thing faster than with a big and high quality picture and choose to se it better or not.

Hope it helps

I would go with the thumbnail --> big image idea. Make the thumbnail a gif...low quality, loads fast. For the bigger images or if you don't like the thumbnail idea, I would probably web optimize your images in photoshop, and save as a jpg, that's probably your best bet, although it is time consuming.

Hope that helps
