Sorry, I should have checked the facts a little better: you can set the
quality of the compression when saving:

====================================
img = Image.open('old.jpg')
img.thumbnail((640,480), Image.ANTIALIAS)
img.save('new.jpg', quality=95)
====================================

Now PIL is definitely the way to go. :)
