If you are using Windows and want to upload huge picture size into the internet (or blog) optimize it first using Adobe Photoshop 'save image as web' feature. It can reduce image size and make your image to load faster!

Story
Im using ubuntu and they dont give adobe photoshop crack for free :(
But I need adobe photoshop 'Save image as web' feature.
Ubuntu only provide me 'GIMP' but I found the same feature as a plug-in

Straight to the source. I copy from here http://www.techzilo.com/install-save-for-web-gimp-plugin-ubuntu/

What is 'Save image for web' ?
Save image for web is a technology to compress the image size so it can load faster in the internet

Weakness
Reduce the image quality. But this wont affect much (unless you have super vision)

Advantages
Image load faster

Conclusion
The advantages overcome the weakness make this a good thing to share!

Others
I was kinda lazy to write the thing back cause the source it self is already 100% fool proof
