For photographs, you can set the quality as low as .25 before "noticable" pixelation sets in -- I believe this is a slider control and will show you a "preview" as you move the slider (it may take a moment to re-render after you've moved the slider) so you can "experiment" with this a bit. I have done this for some LARGE "background" pictures for my website, and it managed to compress a 1.3 megapixel image down to 78k -- see Thats true, but at .25 it does [to me anyway] become too noticeable. I guess it depends on what the image is going to be used for :) The larger the image, the less it seems to suffer from the jpeg block effects due to the block size being effectively so small :) But yes, that is quite a funky example :) Do you do any other adjustments, like setting it for 1x1x1 instead of 2x1x1, and floating
