When I try to save JPEG files with quality above 85 and optimize=1, I
get this traceback:
>>> image.save("foo.jpg", quality=86, optimize=1)
Suspension not allowed here
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 2, in save
File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line
1305, in save

IOError: encoder error -2 when writing image file
For publishing photographs in both full size and thumbnails, I find
quality level of 90-95 to give the best results. I hoped that optimize
would give even better results :-)
I compared PIL, GIMP and Photoshop output, seems that all give almost
identical results for the same output file size. PIL seems to give
little sharper results - maybe because I resized the images using
ANTIALIAS and both Photoshop and GIMP support only BICUBIC filter?
Last, a note about the docs:
"Keyword options can be used to provide additional instructions to the
writer. If a writer
doesn't recognise an option, it is silently ignored."
Thats evil - if an option is not recognized, it should raise.
"The available options are described later in this handbook."
Where is the link to the options? at least where is "later"?
