Hello. I'm afraid I don't quite know how to phrase this question, but here goes. I know that when you use JPEG you can choose what degree to which the algorithm will compress a file, and this degree affects file size and image quality in opposite directions. 1. What degree, or percentage, or whatever the proper term is, have people used without losing an unacceptable amount of image information, 2. can someone give me an example of the change in file size using this degree.An example of the information I'm looking for, with completely made-up figures, is: at 75% a 1 megabyte file turns into 300k.
