I never thought about that, and the fact that it's not needed anyways (I didn't think about the file size and just thought it looked cool ).
It does look nice, that's right. The files shouldn't be that big even with that layer if you chose good compression.

You can keep those rivets easily, just 'select' the background area and 'invert' the selection, then delete.

I am not too sure about PSP, haven't used it for a very long time, but I suppose the saving options for jpeg format must be similar for PSP, PS, GIMP etc. Try irfanview, small viewer and editor, very powerful. D/L the plugins, too - you get all sorts of jpeg size optimizing options. Very easy to use.
