The GIMP is my axe of choice for prepping photos for my website.
I can usually squeeze quite a bit of quality out of a pretty
small file. You've got a lot of options to work with too--what
works for one photo may not for another.
On the scale of 1-10 when it comes to compression engines, I
give this one a 9. The second best I've used is in PWP and I
rank that as about a 7.5. Adobe's is worthless, as far as I'm
concerned--maybe a 4. Vuescan and Minolta are pretty bad, but
the one in Olympus Viewer is quite decent--possibly a 7.
