Reduce image size after converting to TIFF image with compression type

[Happy S Singh]

    public boolean convertToTiff(File tiffFile, BufferedImage image) {
    
    		ImageOutputStream ios = null;
    		ImageWriter writer = null;
    
    		try {
    
    			// find an appropriate writer
    			Iterator it = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("TIF");
    			if (it.hasNext()) {
    				writer = (ImageWriter) it.next();
    			} else {
    				return false;
    			}
    
    			// setup writer
    			ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(tiffFile);
    			writer.setOutput(ios);
    
    			TIFFImageWriteParam writeParam = new TIFFImageWriteParam(
    					Locale.ENGLISH);
    			writeParam.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
    			writeParam.setCompressionType("LZW");
    
    			// convert to an IIOImage
    			IIOImage iioImage = new IIOImage(image, null, null);
    			writer.write(null, iioImage, writeParam);
    
    		} catch (IOException e) {
    			e.printStackTrace();
    			return false;
    		}
    		return true;
    
    	}

Using the above code to convert from jpeg to tiff.
I want to compress the image so using compression types from http://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/javadoc/1.1/com/sun/media/imageio/plugins/tiff/TIFFImageWriteParam.html

    Original image(jpg) --->64kb
    LZW ---gives--->106kb
    JPEG---->177kb
    deflate--->doesn't work

Is there any other compression type or way which can give me more smaller or same size as that of original image?

Might be relevant. I've just noticed that what one creates the

ImageOutputStream outputStream = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(new File(...));

then FileImageOutputStreamSpi creates javax.imageio.stream.FileImageOutputStream, which in turn does new RandomAccessFile(f, "rw") and that does not overwrite / truncate the output file, but re-uses it. That means TIFFImageWriter writes to it up to necessary position, but the trailing "junk" stays there. Which means that if you write in your test scenario to the same output file, and by chance started with uncompressed scenario, then filesize will not change and will stay the same but modification time changes.

If that is not your case, then I would say that LZW (lossless compression) generally cannot be better than JPEG (lossy). Also, what do you refer as "Original image"? You should refer raster as original image, e.g. try to write to TIFF without compression – that will be your baseline.
