Jani,
My apologies. I stand corrected. I have just tried it and the file size
remained the same.
I cannot remember where I first read this, but I accepted it as a fact
without checking it.
It is of course possible to change the compression ratio of a JPEG,
depending on the editing program, but I still wouldn't save any image as a
JPG file where quality is concerned. It rather defeats the object of buying
a multi million pixel camera after all. Look at all the people on this list
who are still awaiting a 36 x 24 mm chip.
There are other formats besides JPG, although admittedly they don't compress
anywhere near as small. But they are not lossy, either. JPG is fine for
small images on the Web.
Regards
Keith
