Reduce file size of images exported through iPhoto
Authored by: jim3e8 on Oct 13, '03 07:33:21PM

This is an old thread, but I hope this comment will be seen.

convert and mogrify will recompress your image, no matter what options you give it; AFAIK you can't get around it. So, the majority of the 20-100K savings people are getting probably come from reducing the iPhoto exported image from quality 95+, to the imagemagick default of 75. Quality 100 does reduce picture quality, by the way. I think this is a misfeature [you can't even add a comment without losing image quality].

You can check the actual size of the profile data with 'identify -verbose filename.JPG'.
