Check this option if you want to do careful upsampling of chroma components.  If unchecked, a faster but sloppier method is used. The visual impact of the sloppier method is often very small..


Selects the algorithm used for the JPEG DCT step.

The Floating Point Algorithm is very slightly more accurate than the Slow Integer Algorithm, but may give different results on different machines due to varying round off behavior.  The integer algorithms should give the same results on all machines.  On machines with sufficiently fast floating point hardware, the floating-point method may also be the fastest.  The Fast Integer Algorithm is considerably less accurate than the other two; its use is not recommended if high quality is a concern.
