"Only Shrink Larger Images" also modifies smaller images

Post by zenofo »

Hi, I'd like to use the option to "Only Shrink Larger Images", but I find that it also modifies the smaller images, I guess it recompresses them without resizeing it. I think it should not alter the files if it is not necessary, is there a way to preserve the smaller images so they are not altered? If not, it would be a good improvement.

The images are in JPEG format which is lossy. Slight changes are unavoidable when the image is decoded and reencoded.
