I've found even with importing uncompressed picts, I still get crappy results

from a 100% jpeg export. So I went back and indexed my picts and saved them as

gifs ... they looked ten times better on export and file size still stayed low.

I'd try gif images ... lossless compression ... very good results IMO.
