Basil,

That's a HUGE image for sharing a desktop shot. You should convert it to
high quality JPEG. It will only take a few hundreds of kilobytes while
remaining very visible for demonstration purposes.

Unless you are trying to illustrate things like screen pixel corruption
by a graphics drivers, the artefacts introduced by JPEG when using high
quality settings should be OK.

Gilles.
