JPG settings in Gimp
#1
Hi

i have a question about a jpg setting in GIMP : "use estimated quality" or "use original picure quality settings"

If I change jpg quality (90 to 95  by exemple), choose optimize and progressive options, what about "use estimated quality" ?

thanks

This is the section from the gimp docs

https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-images-out.html  Scroll down to 1.2.2. Export Image as JPEG

Good information there about the various settings. 
Nothing about "use estimated quality" Where does that come from?

This options means that the JPEG is exported with the same settings as the initial image (if it was a JPEG). For instance, the JPEG from your camera being Quality 97, with full chroma, is exported with quality 97 and full chroma again.

So if I change a jpg picture quality, for instance, 90 to 95, what does happen if this options is set ?

Look closely at the JPGE options ndialog: if the option is set and you change the quality in the slider, the option is unset, and conversely, if you set the option, the quality slider moves to represent the initial quality setting of the image. Si you can't have both the option set and a quality setting different from the original.

Where does Gimp says so? In the JPEG save options?

"Original quality" for Gimp is the quality of the image it loaded, which can be different from the one out of the camera if this isn't the original picture?
