LPMazzoco Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello Guys, I work with maps and delivery system. So, the map layer is in 20% quality jpg, and that's nice. But if I create a layer of text and instructions, and save the image at 20%, the text will be not good to read. So, I need at least 80% to make the text nice, but the final file will be too large and the map will be same. Is there to save the image at 20% and make the text readable? (I create white boxes with black text inside). Greetings from BR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 20% quality for a JPEG is pretty much garbage level quality. I don't think you'll be able to get what you want. You can also experiment with the Chroma Subsampling options in the Save Configuration dialog. There's only 3 settings and their description makes it clear which ones are best quality vs. smallest size. 4:4:4 is the best, 4:2:0 is the worst. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried saving in PNG instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPMazzoco Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 It's because the images are used on phones, so it need to open fast. I think PNG is a little slow to open. I tried 50% and it's readable now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
