  BTW, if you are making a b/w jpeg, you don't have to use all the three
color channels, but you can use just one channel instead (the jpeg format
supports this). It surely will save space this way.
  I don't see the problem in converting from 16-bit b/w PNG to 8-bit
b/w jpeg. It's just an image format conversion.
