Saving in the same quality as the original image causes quality loss depending on the selected quality. As I said, the only effect is a similar(!) file size, and that every save would cause about the same amount of quality loss. Jpeg is lossy, in whatever quality you save your files. If you save your file in 75% percent, load it again, and cycle you will loose quality _every_ time you save, not just the first time. -- -----==- | ----==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / pcg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx |e| -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
