You are doing something wrong. The compressed image should look almost identical to the original. Is your original image larger than 500MB? I think the compressor downsamples larger images. However you can use FWTools ECW to compress arbitrairly large files. (http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/). Or you can tile your soruce image before compressing.
