Re: JPEG quality loss

I had a slightly similar problem - which was loss of quality while
resizing the image.
In the end I was forced to use ImageMagick to do the resizing

Maybe you can experiment with writing out a BMP - see if the quality of
that is acceptable and then use a specialist imaging tool like
imagemagick to do the compression / conversion.

BTW are you writing a drawing application? Otherwise you should have
the source image - and it might be easier to manipulate the source
image file directly.
