Because I made a 740px by 540px layout in photoshop. Should I have just one 740 by 540 image?

Should I worry about Download time.
That's something that any webdeveloper should always think about. You've mentioned that you have Photoshop; do you have ImageReady? On the newer releases of Photoshop, this is included. You can use ImageReady to 'optimize' the image so that there isn't a noticable drop in quality, but the filesize (byte-wise) drops significantly. That would be the route that I would take.
I always just flatten an image, I have image ready and I've used it but never to make the file size smaller. How would I go about doing that?It's practically automated. Just transfer the image over to ImageReady (Photoshop has a button for this). When the image opens, you should see a set of tabs accross the top. Specifcally, "2 up" and "4 up". ImageReady will automatically optimize the image and show you a preview (selecting '4up' will show 3 optimized images, each with different settings). From there all you have to do is select "Save Optimized" from the file menu. If you want to further tweak the file, the is an 'Optimize' panel on the right of the workspace.
