There is something non standard in the file the camera is producing. It seems that PS knows there's a problem and thus prompts for the quality parameter, gimp it would seem is either reading this value as the IJG quality when it isn't or is applying a not too good default when it fails to read it. If it's an incorrect value put in by the camera that gimp is correctly reading it's not a gimp issue. If it is a missing value gimp should probably use it's jpeg default of 85 (or prompt as you suggest) which it does not seem to be doing. If you have imagemagick installed, use the following to see what information is in one of your camera images before you affect it with either gimp or ps and then again after gimp (and/or PS) does a save on it: identify -verbose unadulterated_image.jpeg That should give some info on what is in the jpeg header. thx. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
