Thanks John

That's why I never go more than 5% compression. Its kind of a maximum compression figure I've set for myself. If the image is still too large to upload I go back to the original and do a complete resample with bicubic downsampling in Photopaint, and then if its still too many MB to upload I try compression again.

The two halves of District 15 are roughly the same size. I did the District in two halves so that I could maintain the same high level of detail that I had in Atlas Ward. On a nice cheap bottom of the range laptop its also easier trying to handle an exported bitmap that's only 6000 pi square, than one that's 10,000 pi square, when its rendered directly from CC3 and is ap. 112 MB
