Thanks, but I don't see how.
The problem is this:
SI has a limit on how big your images cand be. This limit is not published and I don't know how big is too big. I had a discussion about it with SI before and they upped the limit, but its size remains unknown.

Regardless of the size, there are times that we need to upload and image which exceeds it. When that happens, SI atomically reduces the image size. I strongly suspect they are using an old and poorly thought out library and parameters for this reduction. As a result, the SI compressed images look worse than garbage.

The proper fix is not for each of us to do trial and error to figure what will be acceptable to the SI algorithm, but rather for SI to fix their algo to compress better and within limits that are still acceptable to them. If my file is 10% bigger than allowance, then it should be reduced by 10% either through resize or higher compression. As it stands, it seems that the 10% over limit gets the file reduced by 60%. That is not right.
