I think you only need it if your source image comes in a format that can't be stored into a jpeg file (e.g. 8-bit paletted). You'll need that if you're converting from GIF files, for example. It shouldn't hurt otherwise. > 2) Can this be improved as far as the final image size in (X,Y) ? I'm not sure if I get you: You tell the image object it's new (X,Y)-size in the resize method, don't you? > For instance, passing a large .jpg with a target byte size of 7000, I get > final (X,Y) results around (213, 174) ... but might want to strech it a bit > while keeping the byte size. If I got you right, you want to compress the image to a certain file size. Maybe you should try optimizing the additional save parameters for the jpeg encoder. (http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/formats.htm). Try reducing the "quality" parameter. l_image.save(l_tmp_file_name, quality=25) Hope this helps.
