Better thumbnail quality with less size – see how

I found very cool post that show how to obtain quality and better compression with a little tuning and less automation.

here's the code:

    System.Drawing.Image myThumbnail = CreateThumbnail(myBitmap,Width,Height,false);                

    //Configure JPEG Compression Engine
                System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters encoderParams = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameters();
                long[] quality = new long[1];
                quality[0] = 75;
                System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter encoderParam = new System.Drawing.Imaging.EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, quality);
                encoderParams.Param[0] = encoderParam;

                System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo[] arrayICI = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
                System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageCodecInfo jpegICI = null;
                for (int x = 0; x < arrayICI.Length; x++)
                {
                    if (arrayICI[x].FormatDescription.Equals("JPEG"))
                    {
                        jpegICI = arrayICI[x];
                        break;
                    }
                }
   
    myThumbnail.Save(Path.Combine(SavePathThumb, fileName), jpegICI, encoderParams);
                myThumbnail.Dispose();
