    First-off, I use and love your cross-compatible WP Image Tools, and thank you for providing them:
    * ShortPixel Image Optimizer (with subscription)
    + reGenerate Thumbnails Advanced
    + Enable Media Replace

    Now for the Bug (or “feature request” if you prefer):
    — The “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” plugin undoes the “Resize large images” resizing of “full” images that “ShortPixel Image Optimizer” originally reduced —

    EXAMPLE:
    a) upload a HUGE image, wait for “ShortPixel Image Optimizer” to compress and resize it to the “Resize large images” settings
    b) go to any “Set featured image” dropdown in [Edit] page/post & confirm the “full” size matches the “Resize large images” settings
    c) run [Regenerate] in the “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” plugin
    d) go to any “Set featured image” dropdown in [Edit] page/post & observe the “full” size is now reset back to the original HUGE size

    SAD STORY:
    As it is now, I upload an image and get all the unwanted Theme sizes, then I have to get rid of them by running [Regenerate] in the “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” plugin, only to have the modified “full” image upsized back to its original HUGE size. So I have to choose either too many image sizes with a downsized “full” image, or less sizes with a HUGE “full” image.
    NOTE: yes, I have de-selected the unwanted image sizes in “ShortPixel Image Optimizer” but that just prevents them from being compressed, and they still get added to the thumbnail options dropdown, even though I told “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” that I don’t want them

    POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
    Good = Add a matching “Resize large images” feature to the “Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced” plugin
    Better = The “Good” solution above with cross-compatibilty that matches the “Resize large images” settings in both plugins when you [Submit] them in either plugin
    Best = All of the above + IF an image size is de-selected in both plugins THEN they are neither compressed nor generated at all upon upload (they don’t show-up in the thumnail dropdown selectors)

    Anything you can do to solve this cross-plugin conflict will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks @wealthgizmo for sharing with us this use-case. Indeed Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced is using the backup of the image, in order to ensure that it doesn’t generate thumbnails from already compressed images only to compress them again afterwards. But we didn’t think of this use-case.
    We will check how we can apply one of the proposed solutions to the Regenerate Thumbanils Advanced plugin.
