jpeg is lossy, even at 100%

I think you mixed up the cropped images. In the original post the one with visible artifacts (dots) is the Photoshop version, not jpeg.io.
... then I realised that pi.gy must not work properly with tiff's as although it appears to upload them fine, it doesn't give you any links to view the images hahahaha, so I re-exported them as jpeg 100% (i.e. no compression and no loss).
Doing this you can clearly see the differences between the different formats.
- original: http://i.pi.gy/DP55.jpg
- photoshop 60%: http://i.pi.gy/LGmK.jpg
- jpeg.io: http://i.pi.gy/qA3a.jpg
- imageoptimise: http://i.pi.gy/4KOa.jpg
From this, I woud say that while photoshop at 60% (which is very low quality produces a noticeable amount of jpeg compression artifact, it retains image structure and colour depth /significantly/ better than jpeg.io even at such a low quality setting, if you wanted to clean up one an image later, cleaning up the freckled Photoshoppe 60% image would be a lot easier than the very damaged jpeg.io image.
