Makkah Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi A photo competition requires images submitted as JPEG level 8. Am I right in thinking this would be done in Export Persona - Export Options and selecting the Quality setting number between 1 & 100, in this example would simply selecting 8 be the answer ?

R C-R Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Probably not. From a quick web search on "JPEG level 8" & a comment I found on this web page (quoted below), my guess is they are referring to Photoshop's "High Quality" JPEG setting. As the web page discusses, it isn't a very well defined setting, even in Photoshop, but if it were me I would go with Affinity's "High Quality" preset. To hold good quality do not compress below level 8 (High Quality setting) Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V23.0 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Don't forget the Spinal Tap reference scale ("goes to eleven"). :lol: Please disregard the above comment. It was meant as a tongue-in-cheek reference to MEB's comment (which has since been edited to remove the comment about different scales).

Staff MEB Posted January 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi Makkah, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) They are probably referring to Photoshop scale. If it's an 8 "High Quality" it corresponds to around 66% in Affinity since the scale in Photoshop goes from 1 to 12. So if you pick around 65% you should be fine.

Asha Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 8 out of 12 percentage-wise is 67% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 26, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi Makkah, The Photoshop level 8 compression is equivalent to the percentage range of 62% to 69% in Affinity. R C-R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 8 out of 12 percentage-wise is 67% Photoshop's 0 to 12 scale is "fuzzier" than you might think. Adobe rather simplistically just divided the standard 0 to 100% JPEG compression range into twelve numbered values, so each of them actually maps to a range of percentages. There is a table on this web page that shows the mapping. From it, you can see that Photoshop number 8 compression is the lowest of the PS "High Quality" settings & maps to anything in the 62 to 69% range. PS#9 maps to the 70-76% range, & so on. Thus, any setting in the 62 to 69% range in Affinity should comply with the competition's requirements.
