Try to shoot images in RAW format and work with them before you complain about big JPGs . They are absolutely without any kind of compression and as raw as it can get. The size is absolutely bonkers and massive but when you edit them you can get the best out of them. And working with them causes even more trouble than working on large JPGs because RAW format support was just added in the few last version of Photoshop and to see freeware/open source programs it was just added recently. You need a fast drive, an excellent CPU and a lot of RAM.
