Poor JPEG Quality

Post by paulmist »

Hi.

Here's the scenario:

I take a DNG, run it thorough Photoshop's image processor and get a great JPEG that retains most of it's detail and it's dimensions while reducing the file size.

I try to do the same using XnConvert and can't achieve anywhere near close to the same level of detail. I think this may have something to do with it reducing the file to 72dpi straight away for JPEG. If I had a DPI action for 300dpi though, it doesn't help.

What am I missing?

I'd love to use XnConvert for a huge batch - but not at the cost of quality.

Solid gold.

That was exactly it. Now I'm getting great quality.

Thank you.
