With this image I would use the 40% compression results because it appears that it is in the middle of the road as far as clarity versus file size goes. It would depend on what the customer wanted or needed. My recommendation however would be to not go further than the 40% compression to keep the crispness and filesize to a manageable compromise.
File size=3,591, file type=GIF, color=47, format=standard, non-interlaced

I love the way we can use these options to smooth out the rough edges. I see so many of this type are left rough looking. After doing this one I look back on the mistakes that I have made in working with this type of file. I am a happy camper now :)
File size=12,062, file type=GIF dither=0, colors=40, optimized octree/include window colors
I tried this one as a JPG with 10% compression, and sharpen, it looked terrible and the file size was almost 28k. The GIF format was the best choice for this one and I feel it is acceptable to be used on a webpage.
File size=5,9, file type=JPG, compression=20%, edge preserving/smooth=4
I found this one to be interesting and fun to play with, I wanted to keep the softness that the original has and yet not decay the pixels. I like how it turned out with the added affects feature.
File size=8.7, compression=55%, file type=JPG, Sharpened
This one wasn't to bad to work with. I really watched how the fruit could take on a strange appearance,( by the time I got to the fruits I was into making odd looking things! )
File size=11.7, file type=GIF, dither=61%, colors=252
I played with this one for a long time, trying to get the perfect look, I feel what I finally came across was pretty good for the having a gradient in it.
File size=5.2, file type=JPG, compression=55%, format=standard
This one wasn't as easy as the other one, so I decided to rethink what I needed to do and came up with a simple idea. I feel it looks good and that the file size is pretty nice.
File size=9.5, file type=GIF, soften=2, shadow= O=6,B=8, colors=19, partial transparency=35%, optimized octree, transparency=inside, format=non-interlaced
Whew! getting better at watching, and paying attention to all the choices that are available to me. I liked the way this turned out. Smooth!
File size=10.6, file type=GIF, colors=19, partial transparency=35%, soften=2, drop shadow=O=6,B=8, optimized octree,transparency=inside, format=non-interlaced
I tried to get this one down to a smaller size, but the more I did on it the larger it got. So I used the same settings as the one before it.
File size=8.3, file type=JPG, compression=20%, reduced resolution=72
This one was pretty easy
File size=22.6, file type= JPG, compression=20%
File size=39.9, file type= GIF, set transparency, used existing transparency, used full transparency=35%, blend with background, optimized octree, color=256
I did two versions of the cake, both look good, and the file sizes are pretty good.
File size=14.2, file type=JPG, compression=8%
This one was a bit tricky in the red areas, blotches everywhere. I decided to go with the jpg compression which reduced the file size pretty nice.
File size=7.8, file type=JPG, compression=20%
I liked this compression ratio on this one, the woodgrain is easy to break down.
