I assume your camera is outputing jpeg. Does it have a raw or tiff output as well? The raw you'd have to drag through a converter thats specific to your camera, but you could probably write that out to tiff. As others noted, while working on the photo, save to gimp's native file format. After that, save as tiff or png for lossless compression. I also seem to remember that saving above the low 90's actually resulted in larger files (than the input) with no real improvement in image quality. jim ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[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.).

You do get the lecture from the libjpeg documentation: Quality values above about 95 are NOT recommended for normal use; the compressed file size goes up dramatically for hardly any gain in output image quality. -Yosh ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
