What format for thumbnails and medium sized images? quality/size balance

[jarmanje]

Hello, i am loading in 100 images into a database to be loaded into my site.

What format would you recommend for a good quality but small size for loading speeds?

I am using photoshop. Could you show me how you save your image files?

thanks a lot for any help

The format you would use would either be .jpg or .png depending on your images, and to get a good file size/quality ratio, I would use the "File..>Save for Web.." option in PS, if you then select the 2-up you can see the original and the compressed side-by-side, and you have your compression settings on the right hand side
