Yes, the sizes will vary quite a bit, depending on which format you choose to save in - as will the image quality. The 24-bit image is going to be a bunch bigger than a jpg. If you go to save a color Paint image as a gif, you'll get a warning about possible loss of quality. My experience has been that the 24-bit bmp will be about 10 times the size of the jpg. The old rule of thumb limited total web-page size to something like 250K (I think), for quick loading. For a page full of pictures, make small thumbnails of them and link them to pages containing larger versions of the pictures. But, as Jim has pointed out, speed of transmission has increased exponentially in the last few years, so the concern is fading. Of course, there are still quite a few people who don't have high-speed broadband access to the web, and for them it's still an issue.
