Can you point out which specific change in the news file http://developer.gimp.org/NEWS is the one that includes these changes?

Yes, I know (see Henrik's post) Second, the jpeg docs recommend not using quality settings above 95, because they greatly increase the file size without improving the image quality. Again, the at Q=98 the file size is about the same as the camera provides already, so no waste of space happening.. Third, there is no way to change the defaults in GIMP 2.2 except by editing the C code for the jpeg plugin, but we are working on a way to do this that should apply to all plugins, and you can expect it to be available in GIMP 2.4. Thank you! I already did the change in the source code (and it works), but good to know that there is some progress happening. There does not seem to be any schedule or roadmap on GIMP 2.4 available yet, but do you have any estimates on when 2.4 would be coming? This year? First half of 2006?

[Gimp-user] Default JPEG quality setting - where?
Hi, Where can I set the default quality when saving JPEG images? The default 85 is too low, I want to use 98. I could not find a suitable setting anywhere, either in config files or in menus. Where is it hidden? Right now I'm just using Save as as a workaround because then I actually see the dialog asking for the Q setting, but this is not really all that smooth. (No lectures on the default 85 being enough, thank you - it is not enough, and I can clearly see artifacts on my edited digital photographs if saved with 85.). Thanks. -- - Antti Mäkelä - http://www.cs.tut.fi/~zarhan - There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here,it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
