I have defined some ImageDescriptors to get different sizes of the uploaded images depending on where they will be previewed on the website. I have noticed that some of the resized images is a lot larger than the original. I uploaded an image which was 250kb and the resized one (which happend to be resized to the same size as the original) became about 2.7mb large. I have also noticed that the resized image is in .png and not in .jpg as the original, which probably is affecting the size a lot. Is there a way that I can specify the file type of the resized image? Is there anything else I can do about this? The whole purpose of resizing images is to get the file size smaller....
