I just posted a few shots from my Sony Digital Mavica Floppy drive
camera over on the binary group.

I can store 17 of that quality on one 1.44M floppy.

600K is an extremely large JPEG, usually the sign of an
undercompressed JPEG or operator error.

For comparison, a large ISP notes that even the high quality
---- images on their binary groups are typically in the 300K
range and smaller.

This used to happen all the time when you see images on a PC
that were made on the older MACs with PhotoShop.

With a good PC graphic arts monitor and color profiling enabled
I do't see it so much any more.

About right. I usually compress in Corel by doing a Save AS
and then open the saved image in something like Lview Pro in
addition to a web browser. As soon as you see banding in the
continuous tones, back it off to two previous compressions.

Sucketh royally and loudly, verily it doth.

Corel 7 had one of the coolest compressions, a fractal
based variety, wavelet, which could almost always compress better
even than 4:4:4 JPEG with less banding, but it just never caught
on.

mmm.. pr0n! :)

Not that I ever actually look at that stuff.. nope.. nope, not at all.

My images run about 800-900K for a 1600X1200 jpg with no compression.
Website images, scaled to 200X200 and compressed to 80% run about 5-6K.

Windows XP has a real handy resize tool. Just left click on the jpg
and select "Resize Pictures"
