JPG direct from camera won't be compressed, so re-saving it will reduce the size dramatically. Check the "Save" options and reduce the compression to sacrifice less quality (I'm not familiar with PaintBrush but I'd be surprised if there's no option to adjust the amount of comprerssion).

Paint (I doubt you're using Paintbrush surely?!) will have default quality settings which are not the same as whatever created the files.
Paint.Net allows you to directly control the JPG quality, as do other dedicated conversion tools.
I note in passing that saving as TIF compresses, but losslessly.

PNG is supposed to be lossless, but doesn't compress photographs very well (better off using .bmp for those if you don't want to lose quality).
So it depends what you're compressing.

Saving jpg in Paintbrush
Hmmm, noticed that saving jpg's in Paintbrush reduces the size by a third - is quality being sacrificed?
Just used a 9MB file and it came to around 3MB after saving.. odd
As an aside, I'll be trimming some jpg's - was going to do it in Paintbrush, but thinking of using another application is quality is being sacrificed - anyone care to comment..
