Finally some interesting response. However, I fail to understand one thing - you're saying, that nothing happens, adding some second layer in the same time that is invisible and useless, while there's no change in the file, no pixels altered, yet you claim, that it is potentially dangerous? How's that?Facts are facts.
If you slide the quality slider to 100% guess what is happening? There is an algorithm being applied that does NOTHING. That is why you are finding out that your file size is larger with no difference. There is a second layer of compression embedded into the file that ends up beefing up the size without changing the file.
This is the difference between professional software and freeware. Photoshop would never allow this because it is completely useless, potentially harms the image, and in the end will increase file size. Also do note that "max" on photoshop jpeg compression appears to be 10, but actually is 12.
That IT thing I've mentioned was because I don't need lectures on what "lossy" means, nor about file types. Nothing snobbish meant by this, but I understand it maybe didn't leave the right impression. Sorry about thatGooniesNeverSayDie11 said:I should add, that I am not seriously trying to insult your or anything, although the "IT" comment did come off a little snobbish. Just busting your stones a little. ( not sure if that term translates well to Slovakia )
