What can be done to a JPEG image without affecting the quality?

Digital Photography FAQ
A typical image editor will decompress and recompress a JPEG file when you save it, resulting in a loss of image quality. You can avoid this if you use special software that can do a very limited set of operations that don't involve recompressing, i.e., they just rearrange the data already in the file. You are typically limited to rotations at multiples of 90 degrees and some cropping actions: There are many others than I haven't listed. (See here for more.

Will converting my image to a JPEG have any effect on image quality?

ZAPP Frequently Asked Questions
Always modify your images while they are in a TIFF or RAW format. These are known as "loss-less" formats. Once your images have been sized to 1920x1920 pixels, save a copy of the image as a JPEG. Do not make any modification to a JPEG image, which is a "lossy" format. This means that each time you make changes and save a JPEG, your image will degrade. For further details, please reference Image Preparation. This is an ethical issue for artists and for each show, fair and/or festival.

Yes, although GIF and JPEG files are best suited for viewing on computer monitors. Due to compression, these image formats can occasionally lose unexpected detail or color. Small GIFs and JPEGs are an excellent way for us to preview your document quickly. If you are using a GIF or JPEG file as your finished artwork, please make sure that the image is made to the size that you want to print it and has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch or greater.

Should I choose gif or jpeg, and what quality?

Photoshop and Web Design FAQ
Gifs are usually only best for images where there are large flat areas of a single colour, such as a diagram. Gifs can have transparent areas in them, and can be animated, which a jpeg can't. Gifs are also limited to 256 colours. Jpegs are preferrable to gifs for almost any image that isn't a diagram. Jpegs compress the data very well, meaning that your picture files will be smaller. This compression creates inaccuracies though, but these inaccuracies are not usually noticeable.

What kind of image correction techniques should I use to improve image quality?

Rad-icon Imaging Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions
X-Ray image sensors typically require some post-processing of the raw image data in order to optimize the image quality obtained from the detector. Rad-icon's sensors are no exception. Although it is possible to acquire usable images directly from a Shad-o-Box or Shad-o-Snap camera, one can achieve dramatic improvements in image quality by applying a few simple correction techniques. The three basic calibration methods are Offset Correction, Gain Correction and Pixel Correction.

What is image quality?

Siemens - Vacuum Technology Division - Image Intensifiers - ...
In general, image quality includes characteristics like detail-detectability and the absence of artifacts. In order to get a good detail-detectability, the spatial resolution and the contrast resolution have to be optimized. These characteristics are described and quantified by the modulation transfer function (MTF) and by the contrast ratio. even brightness distribution (brightness non-uniformity) and low geometrical distortion also contribute to image quality.

Why is there an image size limit and why only JPEG images?

panoguide: gallery - FAQ
We have to limit the image size because re-sizing the images requires the web server to do quite a bit of work, and this slows down the website. Large images also require more disk space. JPEG images are used because they are easy to manipulate and provide a good trade-off between image quality and file size.
