I did not know that 100% setting has 0% loss - always
thought that it was minimal but was always there
because there is always an exhibit of compression
(vis-a-vis a BMP), even at 100%.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was also trying to
make a point that a 100% JPEG should still be smaller
than the BMP - and your explanation would certainly
support that idea.

Yep the dreaded F/FTs, always a difficult but a
neccessary mathematical subject for me to grasp :-)

Thanks,
