Do I lose quality switching from (JPEGTIFF to LZW) to (JPEGTIFF to JPEG)?

By definition if you are switching from a lossless compression algorithm to a lossy one you are potentially going to lose quality - though the fact that you're starting from something called "JPEGTIFF" implies there might already be some compression in there. However, there are other factors to take into account which will minimise the issues.

You can control how much detail is lost by changing the Quality value of the compression. The higher the value, the less data is lost - but obviously this doesn't gain you as much in other areas (disk space, load times etc. ) Photographs can cope better with lossy compression. Compression artefacts are most noticeable when you have hard edges - such as text, lines and blocky areas that are in manufactured images.

A photo of a real scene has less of this and so compression artefacts are less noticeable. However, you really need to do some tests to see if the quality of images produced is acceptable to your customer.

Thank you for the clarification. I’m going to change to JPEG and consult my customer about the results. – Ben Nov 29 at 9:46.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
