Odd that you mention MP3 as the high-end because that is famous as a lossy encoding. He makes it clear that his beef is with wiping out detail that is already in hand.
So my dubious music analogy is scratching up your new CD so that it skips a bit.
- GHFigs 16y agoHe makes it clear that his beef is with wiping out detail that is already in hand. ...like ripping a CD to a lossy encoding, or taking a digital photo in JPEG. There really is no way make the complaint about data-degradation without counting these things. The author's real beef is with the aesthetics.
- frou_dh 16y agoThe degree of harm (if it's considered that) caused by these cameras saving in JPEG is no where near that of heavy filters. Though I don't think the author's tone is justified. Some people are just having fun and rightly don't care about archival.
