Cosmin, we're both Canadians, so I'm probably the only one on this forum who is allowed to say that what you put here in text is pure nonsense > If you delete the EXIF > metadata, you will have achieved infinite compression. this is an uttermost crap argument > thousands of grayscale images of a quarter-megapixel, acquired each > day, by a specialized camera, showing micro-crystals. (I have actually > worked with these images.) I can easily imagine other applications, > with images even smaller, where compression is even more important. well I can not "imagine that", when you (like us here are doing) design a new chunk, you focus on mainstream application people with a niche use-case, like your micro-crystals, should define a private chunk, have all liberty to custom it to their needs and then use it as they like > myself being a photographer who just upgraded from 1TB to 2TB ok, so you doubled your size :) and then you have a problem with an EXIF file of 100k versus 50k in a 10 MB image file ??
