1)Get a copy of the Gimp.  It's considered to be the Open Source 
Photoshop replacement.  It's free, there's a version for Windows, and it 
will save JPG files that are about 1/3 the size of what most of the 
window's programs put out.  I think all of the other programs must use a 
Microsoft DLL to handle JPGs because they all come out the same size.

2) Crop the picture down to only what is necessary.  The goes up by the 
square.  Double the size and the file is 4 times as large.

3) Convert to grayscale.  I believe your filesize will go down by a 
factor of 8.
