Well, it won't make any difference as far as JPEGS are concerned because they don't use a visual compression method. ie, a .gif does compression mostly through number of colors, so if you started with a .gif you could boil it down further, but a jpeg shouldn't make a diff. I took a screenshot of the first tiger image which produces a PICT file (basically the same size and content as a TIFF) and I worked with that. If someone want's to post an uncompressed TIFF file that we could all use as a starting point that might be a good exercise and produce some good comparative data.

I don't have time right now, but if no one has posted by later, I'll track something down. I would suggest a photo AND something like a logo so we can see the differences in compression quality.
