Just do not use JPEG ;) In general it is impossible to do what you want, especially if some other program wrote the JPEG. In practise you should save the JPEG in a quality very near the original quality. It is also possible to guess the quality (my "judge" program does something similar to this, for example), but it is very difficult. (Also, one might not want to "judge" the quality of the image, but the quality of the quantization factor instead). -- -----==- | ----==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / pcg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx |e| -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
