I am editing a JPG image (of an scanned old photograph) which has many artifacts. I'm mostly using the Clone tool and for safety I save the file every time I make one single change in the image. The problem is, the Export to JPEG dialog box appears whenever I save the file, and it's very annoying because I have to close it a lot of times to continue my work.
Is there a way to disable this dialog box? TIA.
I believe you have the ability t turn off the filter dialog in the first dialog that pops up.
I know for sure I can disable the filter dialog when I export files, but not the dialog that appears when I save files while editing.
I never noticed this but you're correct. I guess it's because I never use JPG files, every time you save them they lose quality.
That's why I prefer to work on bitmaps in .tif format, which doesn't use compression, then convert to jpg if necessary when I've finished.
I moved AfterShot Pro and PaintShop Pro into my workflow and use TIF all the time so I have compatibility between those two and Photo-PAINT. But another real issue for me be it the new heic or JPG format is the lossy compression, every time you save it gets worse that not for me.
The image was created by my MFP's scanner, which has only JPEG as output option. Years ago I had TIFF available with another HP software. I tried to install HP Photosmart C4600 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver, but installation failed. I'll try it again.
You don't have to start with a TIF file.
You can:
After you have finished editing, you can always export to .JPG if you want that format.
