It grabs a square of pixels and averages them, you lose both dynamic range and resolution with jpeg. PNG is lossless and opensource. The other problem with jpeg is that because of the way it handles compression, it chokes on film grain. There isn't a way to feed a jpeg encoder a image with allot of film grain and have it spit out a reasonable result. People use it because they just don't know any better. > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Ben 'Polyhead' Smith KE7GAL -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
