Pierre, is there a way to turn subsampling off completely?

Thanks for the response, Pierre! It was indeed the subsampling.

pierre,

thx for the response. after looking into it a bit further, it seems like it was still converting it into a .png without the -out jpeg flag, even though i specified the jpeg extension

however, there are still issues with the jpeg step. they are rather drastic for this particular image. see ...

In cetain cases, the "-out jpeg" option seems to override the quality option.

When converting png -> jpeg or tiff -> jpeg with "-out jpeg" and "-q 100", nconvert will produce a low quality image with clear jpeg artifacts.
