Abstract
By default the JPEG files that GDI+ outputs can sometimes look a little crummy. This is because they are not output at the highest possible quality. While this can be frustrating if outputting something that requires clean lines, such as text, you rarely notice much with photographs. But what about if you need your picture to look crisp but can not use an alternative format such as GIF or PNG? |

What if you really need a crisp JPG image? Luckily GDI+ has hidden in it's ample folds a facility to allow you to set the quality of your JPG output and (thankfully) it is a really simple thing to do.

What about compression for PNG files? The new web standard will be PNG and not JPG soon, and I need to compress my generated png images before saving them to my web server. Right now, my 180x100 product images are being saved at 50kb each, and I show 12 product images per page, so thats a total of 600kb! I need compression for PNG please!
I tried just changing the code from:
If (arrayICI(x).FormatDescription.Equals("JPEG")) Then
to
If (arrayICI(x).FormatDescription.Equals("PNG")) Then
but that doesn't help.
