Rocks-Hard and Soft Normals

I was playing with the normals on the polygon rocks, changing them to hard and soft, and mixing which edges were softened or not. The bottom image is what I liked best, its a mix. It may be difficult to see clearly bc I didnt want a huge file to post on here.

Top - All Hard Normals
Middle - All Soft Normals
Bottom - Hard and Soft Normals mix

??? Does anyone know why saving an image as a jpeg from Maya gets a nice image, highly compressed (very small file kilobyte size), as compared to saving an image in Photoshop as a jpeg, which in turn makes the image a much larger file size, yet only similar or less quality than that of the Maya jpeg???
