perhaps Eugene is concerned about possible JPG copyright infringements? Is that still a threat?
AFAIK, JPEG was never hit by this issue. It used to be a problem with GIF, but the patents for
the LZW compression have expired now.
I'm sorry, the JPG looks worse
For me, the visual differences are marginal. However, the PNG is nearly 4 times as big as the
JPG. IMHO, the minimal advantage in picture quality does not justify the difference in size.
I'm quite positive, that one could even improve the JPG by reducing the compression factor
while still resulting in a smaller file than PNG.
I am dissapointed that Sigurd reacts this way
Sorry, but you provoked it by bringing legal/license stuff on the table. I fully understand
Sigurd's reaction...
my goal was: help to achieve ideal quality of the picture.
Then you definitively found the wrong way to communicate this to Sigurd. Se Melf's
reply.
