TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The amount of compression depends on the content of the image as well as the settings you choose. So an image that is "best" treated as a GIF will be smaller as a GIF than as a JPEG. And an image that is "best" treated as a JPEG will be smaller as a JPEG than as a GIF.
In other words, learn when to use each type of compression by reading the guidelines and looking at the results. An algorithm can achieve maximal compression (by running an image through several different compressions and choosing the smallest file), but an algorithm cannot tell you whether the results are visually acceptable.
