I am quite happy that the GIMP uses its own JPEG quality default (especially now that it can be modified). I would expect a File->Save to use the default I chose, not that attached to the image. If I have a Quality setting of 95 and I load an image that was saved with a Q=50, I should be very disappointed if the GIMP degraded to that level when I have specified that I expect less loss when saving. IMO, the "File->Save" command should use the GIMP's default setting; but the ideal would be to have that default be one of the following options: a. A specific quality value. b. The quality value of the original JPEG file, if applicable c. The greater of 'a' and 'b' d. The original DCT coefficients, if available I would not consider any of 'b', 'c', and 'd' to be improvements if 'a' were not available as an option. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
