This is doing my head in now, I've spent the last 3 hours trying to sort this,

I have 22 JPG image's total size 2.69 MB
when I drop them to a page I'm trying to build the size increases to 32 MB from zero in a new document, displayed in the Document Info.
Even after I Optimise the photos by Pixels/Resolution or JPEG/PNG and quality the least I am able to reduce it to is 16 MB bearing in mind they started at only 2.69 MB

My site will be just a personal site with a lot of pictures, therefor this is a big problem for me.
My original site made with Frontpage total size 30 MB with over 250 images, it is these
image's I intend to use in WD7.

Any Ideas
Cheers Rob
