in reply to permagick jpg compression

If I were to guess I think you should try quality => 50. If I remember right, I would guess that quality is the percentage of the original image - so a value of 80 would mean compress to 80% of the quality of the uncompressed version. That would mean that specifying a quality of 100 is leaving compression off entirely -- which is the same as the original -- which is the same as compression => 'None'.

    but compression=>'None' does not seem to make any difference - the image is still reduced in size from 95k to 13k, and it looks much poorer
