Note Submitter: Alex ---- In response to Jarrod: One thing to note is that the stripImage() function will remove all meta data from the image *including the colour profile*. This might make the resulting image look washed out or just a bit crap. thumbnailImage() does strip meta data from the image *but leaves the colour profile untouched*. Usually resulting in better looking images, but a very slightly larger file. This might be the reason you were finding the files from your method slightly smaller. If you want the smallest file size available use Jarrod's method. If you want the image to look the same as the original, use thumbnailImage().
