Thats not all there is to it. Adobe prides themselves at photoshop having 87 million features and functions, but they dont pay much attention to the basics. In other words, the photoshop jpeg compression engine sucks. Maybe its just me but there is something wrong when you pay $500 for a graphics program and it cant compress jpegs worth shit. You can strip all that extraneous data out by using save for web but it still sucks. There are some plugins available for use inside ps, pegasus jpeg wizard compresses well and boxtops pro-jpeg has a nice feature that lets you specify the final size.
But for smallest file size you have to use a seperate app. I dont know anything that beats xat.
