Is it possibly because the original image is more than the 3020 pixels high and my limit is 3000 pixels so it is re-sizing it, but losing the compression.

Yes it looks like it's losing the compression. I have it set to max quality. If you want to see what it's like, try changing the setting.

Open
dbtech/gallery/includes/class_core.php

Find

PHP Code:

imagejpeg($destination_image_handle, $new_name, 100); 


and change it to something like

PHP Code:

imagejpeg($destination_image_handle, $new_name, 75); 


That reduced the size down to 363k for me and I can't tell the difference between it and the 100 one. If that works, I'll add a setting in the next version for the admin to specify the quality on JPG images
