Why blur jpeg?

I see in Photoshop export JPG that it allows me to blur the JPEG. I also see that it reduces the file size. I never blurred the jpeg. However, I started to and found (if it’s not my imagination), it can make a smaller jpeg size look a little better. I may be wrong.
Why do you think there is a “blur” option to export JPEGS in Photoshop?
Thanks

Is Font Squirrel the only site where I can find Royalty Free/Commercial Free fonts ?

Good places to find free/very affordable graphics?

I’m working with a client doing web development who’s on a slightly limited budget. I forgot to factor in additional graphic assets. Can anyone recommend sources for free graphics and images? Also locations for very affordable graphics and images for commercial use?

Want to design in 3D

I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I currently illustrate in Xara Xtreme Pro. I often need to illustrate people in various poses, doing different things. Unfortunately, I need to do a search for photos that may be close. Then I try to draw from these. The problem is, that I am at the mercy of what I can find…not necessarily what I need. These are my needs:

1. Create poseable figures, male and female, young and old.
2. Costumes or clothes? Work, athletic uniforms, professional (like suits)
3. Place them into a scenes like an office or hammering a nail.
4. Props like holding a phone or a tool.
5. Then be able to bring them into Xara and or Photoshop to finish. However, I’m impressed with some of the abilities of the 3D modeling software capabilities.

Not sure where to start. I’ve played with DAZ 3D and Poser. I struggled with both. I’m assuming either would be the best choice. Beyond struggling with posing, I can’t find the clothes, props or scenes I need. If I need to make them myself, what do I need.
