" a lossy Compression. So he was wrong. I shoulda have known. Anyway."
euh, actually, You can force it to be lossy. Some software packages(I have worked as my main tool with adobe in many jobs) like adobe 6, I think, allowed to set it, several algorythms to set a lossy format, some similar to gif ones...but by default, what everybody use to output, is non lossy, just a zip like but image based compression.
Adobe ps 7.01 does not have those options available, if I remember well, and irfanview what has is level of compression.Making level 9 really small pngs, close to ps 7 ones.(no level able to set in ps, if I remember ok)
