Rich,

What about JPEG compression? Adobe's PhotoShop on the MAC gets some
good results using this technique. There has been a couple messages
concerning JPEG compression in Comp.Sys.Graphics. Hopefully someone
will develop/port this to the Amiga when 24bit becomes more viable.
Also C-Cube has introduced hardware which does image compression/decompression
in real time. This chip may make 24 bit real time animations possible.
