"So, the old tec new tec doesn't really apply to something like this." Yes it does, really. See below: "Old tec": save a jpg from Poser at 0% compression. "new tec": open up and save the same image in, say, IrfanView or ImageOptimizer at the same compression level and you have a file significantly reduced in file size and without any loss in quality. The jpeg standard can be obeyd in differing ways and better programmers use their expertise to code software that performs better.
