I think it's easier to understand in the analogy of signed vs unsigned baseball cards. The images on the baseball cards are identical, but the only difference is the baseball player's signature is on one and not the other. This is just the digital equivalent.
- mekkkkkk 6y agoPerhaps I'm a total boomer, but I just can't imagine feeling that way about an "original" JPEG. A signed baseball card is truly unique, and the signature is an almost (albeit weak) physical connection with the signee. I cannot fully describe why a digital proof seems less valuable. It's like comparing an email signed by someones crypto cert vs a printed letter with a signature. It's just ... different.
- detaro 6y agoI feel similarly about the JPG, and there are a few (IMHO) interesting variations to think about: How do you feel about a a printed digital photo or printed digital painting? How if there's more than one print, but e.g. a limited edition of 50? How about "30$ for the JPG and the right to print it for yourself"? About "there's only 10 copies of this artsy computer game"?
