FWIW - Finally got "untired" enough to run a comparison. On both layouts that I saved for email or gallery, the "save for web and other devices" in CS4 made the file smaller.
I know your method is tried and true, Cassie, and I'm certainly not knocking it. As I watched your video on "saving for the web," I did wonder if I had been doing something wrong in using the built in PS "save for web."
Numbers in both cases were (PS - Cassie) 76 kb - 168 kb; 472 kb - 720 kb.
If someone else has time to compare, it would be interesting to see their results?
I also discovered when opening both files in Preview that the PS method displays a larger size while the 700 file is tiny, thumbnail size. ??? I wonder what happens behind the scenes with PS method?
So....just my rambling. Probably not a big deal and not worth anything.... -L
