Loading Images

Hello,

I have a webpage, which will display the map (City/Places). Whenever the user clicks on a zoom in button, the picture box will display the new map with the selection criteria. But loading the image is taking pretty long time Is there anyway that I can reduce the loading time of the image.
Image Width: 375px
Image Height: 250px
Avg Image Size: 20 - 30 KB

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards
Praveen

What format are you saving the image as? Are you using a file type which allows you the smallest image size? If you use comprehensive software such as Fireworks, Photoshop or GIMP there should be a variety of file types for you to try out, it'll usually be gif, jpg or png though. Although you can vary the quality, and therefore file size, in each intance with those filetypes.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thank you all for replying me back. The problem in this case is, Image will be loaded in the picture box from a random url; So, pre-loading of images cannot be done. The webpage is in asp.net format and the image is in 'png' format. Any suggestions?
