Photshop Elements does this and it's way less expensive than it's big brother.

you can also use function "save for web".

just tried this but irfanview appears unable to open the banner image as if it were just another image.
also problem with reducing image size is that this also modifies the length and width of the image whicle I need to maintain these and just lower the kb size of the image itself (hope I'm clear)..

thx for yr help, have meanwhile downloaded a trial version of photoshop elements and indeed when saving for web one can reduce kb size without touching the format of the banner itself!
great stuff

In photoshop, save the image using the "save for web and devices" option.
If you still have trouble with it, send me a PM with the details as to what you want and I'll gladly do it for you

Cheers
