My eyes started to cross about halfway through the article. Saved it for later review
Thanks for the link. Boy does that bring back memories
I used to research and edit file contents with a program called HexEdit (It's still around, and I have a copy!). Then I would write programs to read file header info and pull data out of files.
I even reverse engineered a portion of the Radio Shack Color Computer disk operating system, among other things. Those were the fun & challenging days! I loved being a Geek before there were Geeks!
Glad to see some people are still playing in HEX.
Excellent explanation; I've always thought jpegs were adequate for most of my work, and that most people should resize down to 200kb or smaller for most sharing applications.
Great article. Thanks for the reference.
I am no technical guru nor I pretend to be one. I can only make assessments based on what I see in an image and I see excellent quality with modern JPEG files. No matter what, all of our usable RAW data will end up as a JPEG and we will loose data from the original file.
I shoot both files depending on the subject. I have said this before and will repeat it again. Some of my best enlargements have come from original JPEG files.
