Hello William,

It rather depends on whether your original image file format is compressed....
Try compressing an image with a proprietary file compression utility (e.g.
winzip,winrar,stuffit etc) These all use non-lossy compression techniques,
if you get significant compression compared to the original this would be
the way to go.

Regards,


Arnold
