Hi Robert Had some time to revisit this, and as you suggested is is possible to change the format of imagery generated if outputting to osg format. I tried the --image-ext jpeg option and it generated jpg files as expected, but to my surprise the generated output was larger than a similar dds

Arrrgh sry On a rare occasion of brain activity i checked the timestamp on the jpeg plug in i build with the changed default quality and somehow my build must have failed. It now builds much more compressed jpeg's :-) The question that remains is how to channel the desired compression through
