In most of those examples, I would go with Q ∈ [53, 61] on a budget, and Q ∈ [69, 76] for a bit more quality without file size blowing up. The discoloration, loss of sharpness, and other artifacts are still visible to a careful eye for the detailed/high-frequency images -- particularly if compared with the original reference image. For no-reference quality, I guess it's a bit more debatable.

It can really damage the image particularly in areas of red. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Gimp specifically so I can't give guidance there. | |
