Since you like to use bright primary colors there is not much you can do
in PSP to get better jpgs because it encodes color values at half resolution
as do all editors.
cjpeg encodes color at full resolution with -sample 1x1 switch.
cjpeg -quality 80 -optimize -dct float -sample 1x1 >

Wow! And I say again, wow!
Did you realize this JPG is only 18.1 K compared to that other one of 31.4 K
?!
I'm stunned at the quality and file size you obtained using that program.

Thank you Fabien, Bob, and Kari for the clear replies. I think I'll tone down
the color a bit and grab that program.

What is n:n:n subsampling exactly? (I checked my program and it has YUV 4:1:1,
4:2:2 or 4:4:4)

Oh, stupid question! Appearently that is the sampling resolution of the YUV
components.

That's why I registered it at the time (3 years ago ?), and always
use it when it comes to JPG conversion. But I'm pretty sure that
others free or inexpensive software can achieve the same quality/size,
they just have to offer precise control over the JPG specs.
Fabien.

I have been using it a bit longer and I too regeitered it. It is
the only program I will use for browsing directories full of images
on my hard drive because of the speed at which it works. An awsome
little program. For those interested it also has some limited sound
support and will also play AVI's.

I use Corel PhotoPaint 8 and have been using it since version 3. Older
versions (5 or 6) are usually available for $50 or less. I compressed the
png down to 12k without noticeable artifacts.

I think that the latest version of the gimp (1.1.x) allows it. Go to
http://www.gimp.org for more info (or
http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/ if you're running windows)

Also red sucks for distortion in JPG compression wrt/ blue & green.....
