JPEG compression
JPEG compression
Is there a way of changing the amount of Jpeg compression when you save the image. Files go in at around 3mb (compressed from 18mb) from my digital camera and come out at under 1mb so I presume there is a fair amount of compression applied.

I found my own answer. The full version includes a slider to adjust the compression.

Im going to semi hijack this thread sorry
In the NI Pro version which I use the slider is great for setting better quality but would it be possible to include a "preview" box underneath the slider the same way as photoshop does to show you what size the output file will be.
I find that I will save at 80% then check the file size with Explorer, then up it slightly and check again etc etc.
Possibly even a preview window that shows what the compressed JPG will look too (as photoshop does on the main window when preview is enabled) ?
Thanks,

I too noticed a significant amount of jpeg artifacts, but on small images only (640X480). Large images save great (I am using just the trial version). As an experiment, I tried saving a file with no noise reduction applied, just to see the difference in jpeg compression, and the difference is significant. Also, the file size went from 156K to 102K. I did read that the default quality is 91, but if I save the same image in Photoshop with a quality of 10 out of 12, I get a clean picture with the same file size retained 156k. Are you sure it saves small images at the same quality of 91? I understand that the Home version allows you to increase the quality, which is what I will be using in the future, but I thought I would let you know guys know.
