JPG quality degradation and saving current image.


Recommended Posts

I'm working in paint.net with a png image, when I save it to jpg, the current image also changes the name to the new one with jpg extension, do all the pixels in the working space also undergo jpg compression or do they stay the same? When I save 2nd time with some additional cropping, will I have double quality degradation from jpg compression?

They stay the same.

The generational quality degradation only occurs if you are repeatedly opening, editing and saving a jpg image (or any other lossy format).

The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait
