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?

Re: compress JPG images
nope. unless you change the color depth, but then you lose, well, the color depth.

Re: compress JPG images
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.
I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

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