Yesterday I downloaded an image from the Web, used Photoshop to trim it to about two thirds of its original size, then saved it again, using quality setting of
6. File size went from 9K to 26KB.
So I repeated the procedure using Thumbs Plus, which by default saves in the original mode, and this time the trimmed file was 7K. Is there any option in Photoshop to permit you to use the original quality setting when saving? Clearly if it has been compressed to blazes, you won’t gain anything by re-saving at a higher quality setting. (Especially when all you have done is to clip the photo.)
Thumbs plus also provides procedures to trim to exact sizes or proportions, which I find very useful. Again, so far as I can see, Photoshop offers no equivalent feature.
