Cool map. I realize that it’s actually the Great Salt Lake, but it looks like **Diane** ’s smilie has a Marge Simpson 'do. 😃 ---

Great job you guys! But if I might, I’d like to comment. The “Dopers of the World Unite” is just way too big (IMHO anyway). Wouldn’t it be easier (and more manageble) if we had separate maps for Eurodopers, Downunderdopers, Asiadopers etc? Just a thought… ---

Fenris: Do the pop-ups show up for you? Or do you only get the javascript:void(#) thing? I’m using IE5.5 and it is working fine for me. Soda: Too big in terms of file size or too big in terms of dimensions? CnoteChris: Sorry, missed you. That will be corrected. If anybody else notices that I missed them let me know. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by sturmhauke \* > [BIf you do need to work with a .JPEG, try this: Save an original copy of the image (example: image\_orig.jpg), and never overwrite it. In Photoshop, do your modifications in a 2nd layer and save that layer separately (image\_mod.jpg). When you are ready to get your final image, collapse the layers down to one image and save that (image\_final.jpg). This way, you won’t continually downgrade the image since you are in effect starting fresh each time. Alternatively, you could save preliminary work in Photoshop format (it’s quite large though) and output to .JPEG at the end._\* Just one nitpick: in Photoshop, select **Save A Copy…** instead of save when you’re done changing your modifications layer. Then, you can collapse the layers and save the file as a new file type all in one step. This feature also reduces the risk of accidentally writing your flattened image over the original. (Yes, I speak from experience. Painful experience.) BTW, my wife, **jdimbert** lives here with me. ---
