Hello Everyone


I am doing a map for FPS game based on Quake3 engine. When it compiles, it's using textures of my choice. Problem occurs, when some jpgs are progressivly compressed. My dream is to with one command eliminate all progressive JPGs. For now, I have used this command in textures folder:
mogrify -format jpg *.jpg
I did not add any "quality" option, I want to not compress at all:)


Will this do the trick - eliminate all progressive images and overwrite them with no-progressive jpgs?

I suspect so as progressive is not the default. But you will lose quality by decompressing and recompressing potentially to a different quality level than your original. By eliminating the -quality you will get a default quality. The default is to use the estimate quality of your input image otherwise 92. But -quality 100 is no guarantee that you will get no recompression. For that you need to use JP2 format (JPEG2000).

WARNING reading and writing JPEG is NOT recommended. Writing JPEG will loss quality. It is a function of the file format.

You may be able to convert JPEGS without loss with "jhead" program, but I havent looked myself.

Thanks for answer.

Mogrify did the trick - map stopped crashing game engine. So whatever was inside this jpgs, mogrify cleaned that up:)
