Is there an image quality testing tool or site?


Test:

  • Photo #1 Full image, uploaded thru your inventory tool (output = inventory tool's compression)
  • Photo #2, Same original, uncompressed image, compressed via a high-quality compression tool (e.g. SmugMug or whatever), it's size reduced to the inventory tool's max allowable output, then,  uploaded thru your inventory tool

This test assumes that the inventory tool will 'pass-thru' and not compress any image that is under it's max allowable output (easy enough to see image stats to verify).  If this is true, then...


Results

Photo 1 = Inventory Tool's Compression quality

Photo 2 = Photo compression by outside source.


This is getting interesting!  Are some inventory hosts putting out superior images than the others?
