I have about 500 images that I would like to leave in the lossless TIFF format but have them take up less space.  I have tried looking in the ImageMagick docs but it doesn't seem to support this directly, you have to go to another format first.  I am sure I have just missed it somehow.  If you know the answer, please help me.

ImageMagick provides the "convert" command line utility which, iirc, 
will do exactly what you want.
