Jpeg literally can’t show most clear blue skies in pictures without banding due to it only being 8-Bit.
The fact I need to worry about going back to re-edit them and losing quality is silly.
So no, not good enough.
- tambourine_man 3y agoLearn about noise and dithering. You can have seamless blue skies with 8 bits that way. It’s more a fault of the camera applying excessive noise reduction than the format. Besides, if we’re worried about file sizes, 16 bit files are humongous.
- JyrkiAlakuijala 3y agojpegli is an even better option -- it adds 10+ bits in old jpeg format in its '8-bit mode'
- Auracle 3y agoI know about adding noise, but to call that a solution is silly. You’re purposely degrading the image to get around the technical limitations of a 30 year old format. I disagree about the noise reduction part too. Modern (larger, not sure about cell phone) sensors basically have basically no noise at ISO 64-100 or so. It’s just an inherent limitation of only having 255 steps of brightness.
- tambourine_man 3y agoDithering is a feature. It’s used all the time in audio and image. And a little bit of noise is a good thing.
