I'm going to experiment myself but would appreciate any thoughts.

I'm not bothered about how easy things are to do, only the end result.

Thanks very much.
If you want the very best quality, then avoid JPEG completely and save as PNG, which is a lossless picture format especially good at compressing computer-generated images to a small size.
