Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 (12) does it but not freeware.
And it creates the html code for including in the webpage.

Using PSP, you cut the image in rectangles and apply a different compression
rate to each different rectangle.

You may download the trial version (30 days) on www.corel.com. The trial
version is the complete version but limited in time.

Thanks, but 326MB download, $99 and HUGE system requirements put it
out of the range of feasibility. I'll build a system to try it,
tomorrow when the download finishes... just for fun, but it won't be
practical for me.

Anything lighter weight that will run in win2k available?

I don't know the proper terms, but here's the idea.
Take a big pix at high resolution (eg spectators at a football game).
Use a combination of pixel scaling and compression to
get a highly compressed picture, small file size, picture 1.
Print picture 1.
Print the original picture.
Take scissors and cut out small parts of the high resolution
(eg a face)
pix and glue them on Picture 1 in the right places.

Wanna do that digitally.

I want small file size. I want the big picture for context.
I want high resolution in a few small parts of the picture.
I'd like to render the picture on a windows PC without extra stuff.
Would be nice to be able to put the pix on a website and have
a standard PC browser render it correctly. I want it freeware.

Ideas?
Thanks, mike
