 * Best not to ever edit any WordPress core files. The easiest solution might be
   to add a filter to your current themes functions.php file.
 * Take a look at this article and see what you think.

 * You may be able to find more examples and discussions on how to use the jpeg_quality
   hook here in the form as well. [http://wordpress.org/search/jpeg_quality](http://wordpress.org/search/jpeg_quality)
