What is the best setting to optimize my images for web? jpg? gif? png? Im
looking for clean images that load fast. I find my images are either taking
too long to load and look good, or they load fast and look dirty. I can see
artifacts. When looking around the web, I see other sites that have lots of
graphics that relaly pop i ncolor with no artifacts but still seem to load
fast. Is there a general rule of thumb to use one image over another? and how
much should I optimize it? Is jpg quality 35-40 a good starting point? png?
What are pros and cons of each. Thanks

There is no one size fits all in image optimization.

In that case they are over compressed.

Here is an article on optimizing images in Fireworks that you might find
useful.
