Suggestions on the best way to compress jpegs i would like the most compression with the least amount of image loss..<!--content-->Unfortunately it's pretty much a direct trade-off between compression and quality loss.. I have some info about it on my FAQ site:<br />
Lan's FAQ, image formats page (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fluffygryphlets.btinternet.co.uk/lan/fileformats.shtml">http://www.fluffygryphlets.btinternet.c ... mats.shtml</a><!-- m -->)<!--content-->Thank you!<!--content-->If you want my advice,<br />
<br />
here are a few tips I've picked up through trial and error:<br />
<br />
For normal photos, try and keep them fairly small, somewhere around 400 x 300 or so. Then, compress it in paint shop pro at about a 10 compression rate, and it should be pretty darn small, and not too bad looking. If you really want to have a larger image, then let the user Download <!--more--> it seperately and just put up with the large size.<br />
<br />
If you have a huge image thats fairly vital to the site, blur it and then compress it very heavily and it will take on a different kind of distortion that doesn't look as bad as regular photo compression.<br />
