- Well, I'm wondering if Stac has copied Superstor 3.0 and included
- JPEG image compression into their software. Now, while this is nice if you
- want compressed images at a quality LOSS, I personally am not willing to
- sacrifice quality for disk space. For those who have either Stacker of
- Superstor, can you turn off the JPEG image compression? I mean, if I
- wanted JPEGs then I would have converted my GIFs myself.
