This is the companion page to my writeup\nAn Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings<\/a>,\nwith the full-naive-resolution versions of the samples, as described in that post's\nAbout These Examples<\/a> section.<\/p>\n\n

In these examples, you'll notice that even the “lossless”\nversions are not particularly crisp. This has nothing to do with JPEG\nquality, and everything to do with my inability to hold the camera steady,\nor to focus properly. Sometimes\nI can do pretty well<\/a>,\nbut this level of pixel peeping requires more skill than I have<\/span> all the\ntime, and I had<\/span> only a small<\/span> selection of photos available on my laptop\nwhen I decided<\/span> to write up this post, so I had<\/span> make do with what I\nhad.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

You'll also notice in the graphs that the file sizes for these\n4256×2832 images are dramatically larger than for the 1518×1010\nimages of the main post. The boat example<\/a> is a whopping<\/span>\n13 megabytes at the maximum\n\n 93\u301c100<\/span> quality,\n\nlarger than the original Nikon NEF raw file it came from, and almost 7\ntimes larger than the\nversion on the main post<\/a>. And yet I<\/span> would challenge anyone presented with both it and the\n\n 0\u301c7<\/span>\n\nquality version (at 5% the size!) to pick which was which. <\/p>\n\n

Finally, the odd lack-of-filesize-increase when moving from the\n\n 47\u301c53<\/span>\n\nquality to the\n\n 54\u301c61<\/span>\n\nquality is in a few<\/span> of these manifest as a noticeable<\/span> decrease<\/i> in file size. In the main<\/span> post I\nspeculated<\/a>\nabout why this might happen, but I wish<\/span> I actually<\/span> understood the\nreason.<\/p>\n\n
