Hi everyone,
does it make sense (or is even obligatory) to export my RAW from Apple Aperture with full JPEG quality (setting "12" can be done, "10" is default)?
So far, all my files were exported with setting "10" and got around 8 MB in size. Today, I tried "12" and got 14 MB...
Is that necessary in your opinion?
Of course, I have compared them side by side, but it's hard to tell the difference (for me, that is). My screens, however, are far from professional...
Best regards,
Christian |

With jpeg, always go with the largest possible. You can always downsize, but you can't upsize. |

I send in most of mine at 10, if I have any doubts, like a smaller sensor camera, I save at 11. Those are Adobe CS/PS/Elements or whatever numbers.
If I'm saving something for myself to edit later or make any changes, including something as simple as re-drop, I save TIF.
Haven't had any problems ever with SS for saving photos at 10 which I'd personally say is the lowest anyone would want to go anyway for a nice clean image, no matter what. |

To avoid noise and artifacts from creeping in to your photo, you should always go with the largest possible quality setting. Better to be safe than sorry. |

Always 12 for me. Memory is cheap so no real need to reduce file size unless you have a very slow internet connection.
