Aye, but I've never seen a paint program, not even Photoshop, which gives you full 8-bit control over your .jpg compression. I've been using a program called Riptide, by Vorton, for years. It will calculate a target file size for an image, or allow you to choose your compression on a 256-level (8-bit) scale, instead of 10 or 12 or lo and hi, like many programs. It also does batch-conversions, so you can rip a whole .bmp folder to .jpg and set compression and resizing, if necessary. Makes thumbnailing for Renderosity a snap!
