Considering "jpeg" has become the shorthand for "digital picture", it would be a shame not to capitalise on it.

- flexagoon 9mo agoI feel like "jpeg" has generally become a shorthand for "low quality compressed digital picture"
- dgan 9mo ago"diJital PEGchure"
- dlcarrier 9mo agoIs it pronounced jay-peg or gee-peg?

- dylan604 9mo agoI feel like you need to find better places on the internet. It's no longer 1997 downloading from dial up.
- notatoad 9mo agoWhat makes jpeg compression bad isn’t low bandwidth. It’s really good at compressing an image for that. What makes jpeg bad is that the compression artifacts multiply when a jpeg gets screen captured and then re-encoded as a jpeg, or automatically resized and recompressed by a social media platform. And that definitely isn’t a problem that has gone away since dialup, people do that more than ever.
- flexagoon 9mo agoI'm not saying it's true, I obviously understand that not all jpegs are low quality and over compressed. That's just how the word is generally used by people, especially those outside of tech who aren't well versed in different image formats.
- bigbuppo 9mo agoNah, that's WEBP, the most hated file format.
- benbristow 9mo agoIn the photography world it's shorthand for "photo unedited straight from the camera". Popular with Fujifilm cameras especially due to their 'film simulation' modes which apply basically a filter to the image.
- doubletwoyou 9mo agoNot really? Unedited would be some sort of raw. JPEG usually implies preprocessed by the camera
- benbristow 9mo agoI guess I meant unedited by the photographer manually (e.g. using Lightroom etc.) Either that or a photo that has been edited from a RAW and is a final version to be posted online.

- recursive 9mo agoExcess?!? I certainly don't want any of that in my image encoding formats!
- jonsneyers 9mo agoExactly. Image compression should excel at avoiding excess. Though maybe some people think the JPEG committee is now creating spreadsheet formats...
