Rob,
I think thats a good idea.
This is something I would be interested in. Thought about it today and am going to do a test using XP, 2000, and 98SE. to see if the modern program writes more info to the file.
Personal example ; We moved to Norfolk, and are now 5 hours one way from my mother. I now write using word ( her eyesight is not what it was ), and add pictures to make the letters more interesting. When we joined the RSPB and started visiting Tichwell, I took lots of pictures, some became joiners. I downsized and compressed these, as that letter was to have around 10 pics and the printer stuggled with that. Those with large areas of blue skies showed the dreaded banding. The result of overcompression.
If I was new to this forum and posting a gallery pic, and did not understand compression at all, I could be quite frustrated posting that glorious summer scene and looking at the final result in the gallery and not understanding why.
