cropping without degradation?
Hi Group,
Is there a free software program available that will allow me to crop photos without the resulting photo being degraded? Thanks, Brigitte |

Brigitte,
In most cases image degradation is not due to the software used for cropping, but the image file format. When you edit photos, do NOT use JPEG, because it is compressed each time you save it, losing quality. If you use non-compressed formats such as TIFF or PSD, the software should not matter--they will not degrade. Charlie http://FlyingSamPhoto.com |

JPEGCROP is freeware that uses a GUI front end to JPEGTRAN. It performs lossless cropping of JPEG images (i.e without re-encoding the image after the crop operation). http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/ |

Correct. But utilities like jpegcrop will not introduce any additional compression artifacts as a result of having cropped and saved the file. |
