G'day,
Is there any way to configure the way the PIL saves jpegs ?
I've got some code to make thumbnails (ok, it's almost the
same as in the manual).
I'd really like to minimise the file size said thumbnails, and the
best way to do this is use the JPEG 'optimise' feature of the encoder
and to set the JPEG quality to about 50%. (50% is a bit dodgey for
reproduction, but fine for thumbs)
Does the PIL automatically do 'optimized' jpeg saves ?
Is there a way I can adjust the quality factor for the compression
algorithm ?
ta muchly,
-kt
