I tried the image optimizer software that was posted yesterday.

Free Image Optimizer - Compress and resize photos

It greatly reduces the storage space for your photos. The link below will take you to one of my recent posts. I replaced the first two photos with optimized versions and posted both the original and optimized versions of the third photo. The only issue I've had with the software is it does not offer the optimizing option, if I right click on a single photo. It only seems to work if I right click on a folder of photos. My camera puts all pictures taken on a given day in a single dated folder. Of course, I can easily move copies of photos to some other folder if I want to optimize them. The optimizer creates a whole new folder for the optimized version of the photos, so you could also just delete any photos that you did not want optimized.

My photobucket library currently has 278 photos, that take up 22% of my free space. Most of the pictures were taken with my 7 megapixel camera, but some were copied from other websites. I expect to use the optimizer frequently, now that I'm using an 18 megapixel camera that would use up a lot of photobucket storage space.
