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 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.
But with TIF I'll have more quality in the image, right? I finally could install the old HP software and can now scan and save as TIFF. Guess the previous installation failed for incompatibility with some Windows 10 version.
Well, sure, the lossy compression of .JPG is in general not going to help you with quality.
I guess my point is that, even if circumstances force you to start with a .JPG file, you aren't obligated - and probably don't want - to keep exporting it to .JPG again, and again, and again during the editing process.
