I work together with a colleague maintaining an archive of our photos from many different sources and in all shapes and sizes.
He wants to reduce the size (not the physical dimensions of the image but the space that it occupies on the disk) of all the jpg's over 3MB (some are over 8MB) down to 3MB in most cases by resaving the image in Photoshop from Quality 12 or 10 down to 8.
He says that there is no visible difference on the screen in the image once saved in a reduced size and it makes for quicker transfers and reduced storage space.
I have a gut feeling that this is a bad move but am incapable to produce any good arguments in my favour. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
