You would have to use PhotoShop or other application

I use the program that came with my digital camera to reduce all
photos that I'm going to use on websites to 640x480. I then open them
in Paint & save again. This brings the size down to 40 to 100kb. next
I use thumbnails sized large enough for viewers to see the image (120
pixels high), so that they only click the images they want to see in
more detail.

I had the same problem. The experts here kept saying "your background image
is too large"

I would recommend IrfanView free from www.irfanview.com It enables you to
specify picture quality in % terms. I kept reducing the % until now I have
an 18KB file from an original size of 783KB

Every lossy format picture will degrade a little each time it is resaved.
Although re-sizing and re-saving may reduce a few bytes in the process, you
have no control over the amount of degraded quality of the photo. It is not
the same as optimization, which will reduce byte size to as much as
one-tenth or less of the original byte size while maintaining much higher
quality than just re-saving. Paint is not capable of compressing graphics
and allowing you to adjust the quality as does PhotoShop or similar graphic
program.

Probably with no detrimental visual effect, too.
