Hey Will, I think you're wrong here and I just tested it to be somewhat sure; be sure to let me know if I have my head in my ass.
I don't know what you mean by "100% JPEG group conversion" but your statement that the "high quality" setting turns off JPG comression is false, I believe. I just tested it on an image I have in TIFF form, LZW compressed. It's 7610k on disk. Saved from PhotoShop as a quality 12 JPG it's a 3094k file on disk. So, even at the highest setting there is JPG comression going on. It's just so small that it's unnoticable to the human eye. Now, Canon may have some proprietary type of JPG compression that lets the camera know that at it's highest level it shouldn't do any JPG compression but I kinda doubt it.

A high quality jpeg from the camera or software corresponds to a 100% JPEG group conversion. Those settings aren't harmful to the image, but they basically turn off jpeg compression, so your image is huge with no quality gain over a lower setting. A low quality jpeg from the camera or software corresponds to a 90% JPEG group conversion, which is what an ideal high quality should be. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
