Hi Everybody!
I have a question about image quality.What is more important to achieve better image quality, but keeping a reasonably compact image size per picture? Pixel count or compression level?
Let me clarify that I am not yet interested in RAW images because I want to practice with smaller files and shorter process time in Aperture. I am not doing professional work with my E-PL1, so JPGs are enough for the moment.
Like in any other camera, I can adjust the size of the pictures (in this case 3 different sizes for each Small, Medium or Large) and also I can adjust the level of compression.
I really don't want to have enormous files because I am not thinking about publishing or using my images for any professional work. If that would be the case, I would learn how to deal with RAW. My HD space is limited and I don't want to deal with external hard drives for my pictures.
Please let me know what do you think is more important to retain the best quality and a small-ish file size. Pixel Count or less JPG compression?
Thanks for your answers!
