>>3567473>JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm. You will ALWAYS have a smaller file than a lossless file, even if it's compressed. It's impossible for it to be any other way unless you upscale. DPR just fucked something up there, period.No they didn't. The files are exported the same for all practical purposes. Check the exif if you like.
Here, I'll do the experiment for you, because I'm feeling generous today.
I'll take the raw from dpreview and export it at various jpeg levels with Darktable version 2.6.3, no edits made just a straight export.
Check pic related.
Lossy does not guarantee that your files will be smaller. That's why PNG is often used from small simple graphics online, because it compresses better.
