I think the PAR images/animations are just a variation on the JPEG format
so you're right it would take a little longer to save the image but the
file sizes would be much smaller. Since ADPro has a loader for PAR
images (which doesn't use the translate feature of the newer version of
the s/w) I am assuming the PAR file format specs are available. If thats
the case then it would be really neat if someone wrote a saver.
