Further to my first reply. "Cut in half" is rare and suggests that the
original program that created them didn't choose the compression
parameters at all well, or maybe chose them aiming for highest possible
execution speed, or tested only on a photo where the more intensive
compression often makes only a little difference.

I have to agree with the poor choice on the first file creation. The
whole folder of 184 images that one must have been the best fix, but the
others were like .3% and some as high as 4%. Overall not worth the
work. I think Paul eluded to that too.

Thanks. Fun exercise though.
