Canon "fine" was a bad choice on my 300D. In fine mode the canon software appeared to create a jpeg with the quantization table full of 1s. This causes the file to be absolutely huge, but without really adding any detail to the image (over a lower quality setting). The normal mode, however, seemed to give the same kind of quality/compression as 90% in the IJG example encoder. That setting is about perfect for a high quality jpeg. Not too large a file (1/4 the size of "fine"), but just as much detail as the "fine" setting had. I've not taken the trouble to redo the experiment on my 20D or 5D, but I'd guess it is the same since the DGIC processor is at the core. -- void *(*(*schlake(void *))[])(void *); * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
