JPEG image quality and sizeMagick JPEG

I use the following command to create a sketch:

mogrify -resize 128x128 -quality 75 "some thumb file"

For a sample file:

  • If I do not specify quality 75, I get a 40 KB file
  • If I specify quality 75, I get a 36 kb file and it looks awful
  • The same file resized in Photoshop is <10 kb - and it looks amazing!

Can I use imagemagick to resize the thumbnail to a file so small that the resulting image does not suck? Maybe I missed some other settings here?
