You are trying to get the best detail (information) across with as little resolution (file size) as possible. Once you have a 600 dpi file, sharpen it's contrast by adjusting the curves or levels, then change the image size to 500 inches x 500 inches and the resoultion to 1. (It may only let you resize to 466.667 inches max). Again, the resolution - 1 (pixel per sq. in.). You will see a dramatic change in the file size, but with a minimum of change in contrast, detail and color in your image. At this point you may save the file as a "Pict" file. When the save window appears, select "minimum jpeg compression, maximum resolution". If your image is in color, select "256 colors" (as opposed to 8 or 16), if it's in black and white, 16 will apear as the highest #. You may also keep the image at 300 or even 400 dpi and save it as a Pict file (with jpeg compression), however, it will be only a little better than the way I mentioned above, but will move much slower over the w.w.w. due to it's file size.
