Re: filmscanners: Lossless JPEG's? was Hello



Comparing different settings in a software is one way to go, personally I´ve
been working for the biggest auctionhouse in sweden and we arcived ONLY
highres jpg´s. First we used photoshop (4) jpg´s at hightst quality, not any
sight of the jpg´s artifacts when printing. Later on we purchesed Binuscan
ColorPro and belive me when I say that there is a difference between jpg´s
at topsetting !!!

I have never seen any software making so good jpg ever, basta !

Now Binuscan also have released their PhotoRetouchPro with a quite magic
"jpg removal" algoritm,for really damaged images,  have only seen it working
on screen, looks really good but like always, if it isn´t in the print - who
cares about it !?

I think that many people looks at "oooh this is a jpg image, this must be a
really bad one....", I don¹t feel that way at all. My boss once came to me
and said, Stefan can you tell me with scan/print is made with a Heidelberg
drumscanner and with one is a DaiNipon ?, tricky q I looked at the prints
and after a while (they were very similar) I said "this one is the
heidelberg one..." he just laughted at me and said, "no that one is a Umax
PL 2000" (a 2000USD scanner at that time), what I want to say is, look at
the images, the prints, if these are good you don´t have to bother with all
this techical worries !

Cheers, Stefan
