Those who are setting subsampling levels are probably expert users and probably thus want what they are asking for explicitly.

When we used "16-bit" jpegs (actually 12-bits internally) we used 4:4:4 and quality of 75. Some tests determined that quality of 75 in 16/12-bit looked as good as 98 in 8-bit. Anyway, just data points using jpeg images in animation production. I'd vote the default to be 4:2:0 since that's what most devices write. Those who want 4:4:4 are more likely to understand these settings. --jono
