I have to admit to an ignorance on compressing files in gereral
I use LZW when Im storing on my server  and have not bothered with other
methods simply because in my early digital days I was shown how badly
jpeg images are degraded .
I understand that JPEG 2000 is the new standard and should be with us
soon. a  search of the web should bring up some information on it.I have
read about it but don't have that to hand. look at
www.Altamari-group.com   who do free to download trial software

also look at
http://www.aladdinsys.com/deluxe/index.html

they do a compression and expansion package
which is supposed to be very good.I do not know how it handles graphics
files though
