How do others resize for uploads?

Andy, try reducing the jpeg compression level, you will be surprised how little difference there is between a high quality and low quality jpeg when viewing on the screen.
600 x 400 shot should come in well below 250k (my 900 x 600 come in below 200 k most of the time).
I did a test a while ago by saving a 800 x 533 image in all the jpeg qualities between 4 and 10 and there was virtually no difference when viewing but the file sizes varied from 60k to over 200k.
