result report.

I have made a test
uploaded one 1,9mb image using GD2 and then using same image with imagemagick

image uploaded was 1,9MB limit is set to 2mb
After GD2 60% IMG_0982.JPG 1920 x 1440 (171.05 KB)
After IMAGEMAGICK 60% IMG_0982.JPG 1920 x 1440 (409.54 KB)

Now I wonder how come GD2 compresses to half of IM's size?

this is my setting in the test default values
Quote
Thumbnail Image Max Width/Height
If either the width or height exceed this value then the larger sized property will be scaled to this, with the other being proportionally scaled.
Default: 200 Pixels
Medium Image Max Width/Height
If either the width or height exceed this value then the larger sized property will be scaled to this, with the other being proportionally scaled.
Default: 480 Pixels
Full Image Max Width/Height
If either the width or height exceed this value then the larger sized property will be scaled to this, with the other being proportionally scaled.
Default: 1920 Pixels

Thumbnail Image Quality
Higher settings will lead to better quality, but larger filesizes.
Default: 80%

Medium Image Quality
Higher settings will lead to better quality, but larger filesizes.
Default: 70%

Full Image Quality
Higher settings will lead to better quality, but larger filesizes.
Default: 60%

I wonder what should I chose and can IM settings be altered somewhere?

PS I have returned to GD2 in the CP settings just to be sure
