compress JPG images

Hey people, is there a way to really compress jpg images?, winzip and winrar seem only to reduce the file a little bit, nothing outstanding...I was wondering, is there a way to compress it some more?

nope. unless you change the color depth, but then you lose, well, the color depth.

yeah reduce the colour depth did u winzip/winrar or best compression

The best way to really compress images is to increase the compression ratio and lower the bit depth, although if you do it too much, the quality will degrade. WinZip and WinRAR are lossless compressors so you'll get a much greater compression by resaving the image and bumping up the compression ratio.

If you want to compress a collection of JPG images, then tar the files together and zip the resultant .tar file :)
