[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 227654, member: 12496"] I don't know either, but it is used there on pages 31, 32 and again on page 53 in association with best quality compression (larger file size). My guess, it is saying "Look at me, I am better image quality than the other similar choice". Greater compression makes smaller files, but at the cost of hurting best image quality somewhat. The largest file is always the best quality. You should be using it according to your preference for best image quality, or for smallest file size. (File size only counts when storing it, but it does affect image quality). Generally, quality might be "good enough" (we live with whatever we have), but it is never "too good". We always seek the best lens and best camera and best procedures, seeking the best quality. It seems counterproductive to buy and use really good gear, but then convert to poorer image quality with stronger compression just for a smaller file to store it away out of sight. :) [/QUOTE]
