All that eCanCrusher stuff, lord. It's faster to simply unzip the bloody ePUB, open the images folder and replace the offending images with "better" replacements; I typically run all the PNGs through TinyPNG, which is my go-to Jam for that. So, next time, try opening it in something like NoteTab Pro, so that you don't get that whacky "helpful" Calibre stuff. :-)
Offered FWIW.

The Calibre solution is to set the options properly.
Load an ePub into the editor. You will not save it or edit it. Go to
Edit > Preferences and then make the following changes and then exit the editor and do not save the ePub if asked.
- Editor Settings: Uncheck Beautify individual files automatically when they are opened
- Integration with calibre: Uncheck Update metadata embedded in the book when opening
With these two options deselected, this will prevent any changes made to the ePub when it is loaded into the editor. (IMHO), these two options should be off by default.
