Lossy compression is antiquated. Jpg should no longer be used as it's not 1999. I will die on this mole hill.

Yeah, let's all post RAW 40MB photos right from the phone on ... The Internet!

What a good idea.

Is there a specific reason? And subsidiary do you only listen to 96-bits FLAC too? Should video not be compressed either?

I mean, I'm all in with you when it comes to storing my holiday photos, but sharing them? Not so much.

That said, I grew up with 35kb jpgs so I'm kind of used to it, maybe I'm skewed.

Files should be at reasonable resolutions and sizes for their purpose but not in file formats that slowly deteriate in an internet of remixing ideas.

So not analog?

Who taught you jpgs deteriorate over time lol

It happens when the image is edited and re-encoded on save. Who taught you they didn't?

Oh, so it happens ... Shuffles papers ... When someone degrades the quality intentionally.

That happens if you reduce the dpi of your raw image too btw.

Not "over time" !
