in browser, use clean metadata. 'Save' recompress the imagenbrtyyujm wrote:I clicked Remove All Metadata, but when I Save the file, it is much larger in size so XnView must be reproccessing the image. How can I strip the metadata without altering the image?
Did you activate Optimize (Huffman table)?nbrtyyujm wrote:Using Clean Metadata from the browser doesn't recompress the image? In a hex editor the cleaned file looks different from the original. I was expecting only the beginning of the file where the metadata is to be different.
Calvin Hass ([url=http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/optimized-jpeg.html]What is an Optimized JPEG?[/url] ยป Does JPEG Optimization affect Image Quality?) wrote:No! The huffman table optimization is a lossless (reversible) process that has absolutely no effect on the resulting image quality. If one has the option, it is almost always best to enable JPEG optimization. The extra file size savings can't hurt. However, as it may potentially reduce compatibility with some bad JPEG decoders, this may be enough of a reason for you to disable it.
