I frequently put greyscale images into a parish mag I DTP. A way that works for me is: I first convert the colour image to greyscale in Photoshop Elements; saving it at very low quality (0 or 1) within the RISC OS environment. Then I see what size the JPEG looks like in relation to the document, and normally resize it by scaling it in ChangeFSI. If I also save it from there as a Sprite, the file size seems to get a lot smaller and the resulting document generally loses many Megabytes cumulatively. Michael Harding Rev. Preb.
