500k for that kind of spam garbage? is there yet another security hole in some png library or something ?

Is there a Linux command line tool which can analyze an image, and its skrunk version, and determine that it's "visually lossless"? Such a tool would be very convenient for those who like to post images recently and care about those who don't have unlimited internet (which is actually a lot of folks such as those in rural Australia who get their 'net shaped after only a GiB or so...). Even a chain of commands ... I guess some steps could be: - convert to a lossy format if it's in a lossless format such as PNG - shrink the image to a reasonable size, if it's not already "smallish" - apply a series of "relatively lossless" transforms on the color space, contrast or whatever, considering human perception ability (I'm no image expert, but would assume there's an analogue to fourier type transforms from mp3 audio compression) the trick in this last step is to be able to automate "how much is reasonable, vs how much would be visually noticeable" - not my field.
