When you export to JPEG, what quality settings do you use? I'm having a hard time deciding whether I want to use Quality 80 in NX Studio and end up with some of my 24MP images being over 10MB, or drop down to Quality 70 which seems to reduce the size by about 40%. It doesn't help that JPEG quality seems to have no bearing between programs, Quality 70 in NX Studio seems to be similar to Quality 90 in basic editing software like Pixelmator.

Using the same settings for all my exports though, some pics just come out to tiny file sizes, which feels wrong for the image size in pixels. Take pic related, this is Quality 70.

> if pixel peeping shows zero discernible difference, what would be the point of saving at a higher quality to begin with?
Compression artifacts differ based on what image they are applied to. For example, applying jpeg compression to a very clean digital image will save a lot of space for no apparent quality loss, but on a film photo, the grainy areas will turn to mush pretty fast.
My point is that pixel peeping is not an effective method of deciding what compression to use, unless you have infinite time and want to pixel peep every image before applying compression. Just apply a standard compression recommended for your purpose and you'll be fine.

>Almost any print you'd make would have smaller details than blowing up the image on your monitor, so if that doesn't show a difference, why would a print?
Correct, prints usually work well even at low quality. But there is cases where it won't: again, fine details may look mushy, dark areas blocky, etc. So it's better to be safe, especially if you have a modern computer with terabytes of storage that can hold more or less an infinite amount of jpeg image.

For safest, I wouldn't go below 90. For good quality, I would go 80. For web and Instagram where pic quality is not important, I would go 70. Under that, artifacts will appear even at low magnification.
>>
>>4517986
I save my RAWs on hard drives at home, these files are to dump in my camera roll on my phone/iPad for showing people, sharing online, my own casual viewing. Those devices have limited storage. Saving to 90 or 100 quality is notably sharper but at huge file sizes, since I already have the RAW backed up I can always "reprint" from that at a super high quality if needed.

Since JPEG quality numbers seem to vary by program, I've been using Irfanview to view the quality of JPEGs, it's got its own arbitrary scale but I can compare between programs now at least. Irfanview says that the Quality 80 from NX Studio is 90 JPEG quality, while Quality 70 is only dropped to 87 JPEG quality, but crucially it adds 2x2 chroma subsampling. I imagine coming off a bayer sensor in the first place the chroma subsampling has virtually zero impact, so that seems to explain the minimal difference in quality despite the huge file size difference.

I have no idea how this compares to Lightroom's outputs as I don't use it. If someone wants to post some various outputs from Lightroom I can get the quality levels in Irfanview to have a point of comparison. My suspicion is that any "pro focused" image editor (Lightroom, NX Studio, etc.) has a JPEG scale curved to a higher quality than say, Paint.NET or Pixelmator.

>>4517913
biggest difference I found is in the shingles - more grainy in higher quality, but it's very subtle. I can't see it at 100%. I think not worth the bigger file size.

All video related questions and discussion is intended for this thread. Here we discuss techniques, gear and anything else related to capturing video footage. Please don't pretend to be an expert if you don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave your ego at the door.
Posting short films/scripts or other work you've done is encouraged.
We tend to use and recommend DSLRs/mirrorless cameras because they provide phenomenal picture quality for their price, have large sensors (ie the same size used in high-end cinema cameras, and larger) and have interchangeable lenses.
In contrast, consumer camcorders often have much smaller sensors and a fixed lens.

Still using that DSLR formfactor, I'd rather get the pyxis at that price point. Those Sony batteries are terrible.
>>
>>4519059
>Thoughts?
Really good on paper. Ergonomics sound terrible. Has (almost) nothing that the canon c80 didn't do years ago (ibis and open-gate).
The camera has to restart to change framerates or recording codecs. That alone is basically a deal-breaker outside of a controlled studio set.

If you're running-and-gunning, the s1ii (or r6v) are the obvious choices. If you're in a controlled environment, the pyxis 12k, c80 or even the fx3 seem like easier choices.

>>4519066
>the history channel told me it was all gas chambers, ovens and mengele! so the holocaust never happened because thats impossible!
The fucking holocaust museum tells you quite explicitly that ~2/3s of deaths were summary executions and soviet style genocide via purposeful neglect, particularly in ghettos, and between the holocaust, combat, and exile europe went from 9.5 to 3.8 million Jews. Those Jews were not recent migrants either. They had lived there for hundreds of fucking years.

That is a genocide. There are 200 million whites in the US. Would you call it a genocide if 130 million were killed or expelled?

You antisemitic fucking retards call a few thousand dead “palestinians” a genocide when they were sheltering muslim militants in a dense urban area and the only cohesive national identity they have ever had is “we want all jews to leave or die”. Otherwise they were random people from all over the area that got kicked out of their actual home countries and a smattering of actual natives like the samaritan jews and palestinian christians. Exactly no muslims were ever native to “palestine” (judea).
>>
>>4519069
the irony is that jews were settling peacefully, staking out unoccupied land, until the jerusalem pogroms, and every neigboring country trying to wipe them off the map. only then did they get aggressive. it famously took a decade of rocket attacks and terrorism for them to snap and wreck hamas.
but sure the arabs are the victims now that they are losing
all they had to do was live next to jews
like 30% of israel… which is arabs that decided it was better to just live next to jews and *gasp* be citizens of a modern democracy

Just make sure it's a good one, some of these zooms can be pretty bad in my experience. I'd take 28-70 f/3.5-4.5, but I can't tell you whether they're consistently good or whether I just good lucky. Either way, sharp, 8/7 elements, 0.20x close up, good size.

Why does it happen anyway? I feel like this is something which adobe could work on giving us a tool for in Photoshop. Something which cancels out edge glow but also can be adjusted by depth etc.

(I know edge glow can be removed with a new layer and clone stamped with Darken mode on)

It's 1800px wide... When you downsize something to 50% (assuming that isn't a crop) it looks sharper. When he looked at the original size it was probably a little soft.
>>
>>4501417
>Why does it happen anyway?
Some clever programmer (with no photographic experience) decided that the way to make edges look sharp was to increase the contrast among pixels that border very light and very dark areas. So he cleverly wrote some code that does exactly that, and now it looks like the Anime cartoons he's used to wanking off to.
