Slow Export to JPG

Ahh ok.
8K are probably only some extra metadata somewhere.
Do a full dump of metadata from the two files:

exiftool /from_faststone.jpg > /from_faststone.txt
exiftool /from_embedded.jpg > /from_embedded.txt

and see what else there are in them.

For fun, you could open one of them in a photo editor and then add the other one as a second layer but invert the color it and set opacity to 50%. If they are pixel identical their totals should cancel each other out and you should end up with a 50% gray photo. :slight_smile:

Hi Required,

EXIF data is much richer in JPG converted by FastStone than JPG extracted directly from NEF file.

The fact is that JPG by FastStone having richer EXIF with smaller file size. Interesting enough!

For another test by applying layer you suggest, since I don’t use layer to process image, I may need time to study how to perform. Will let you know if I have some findings.

Thanks for you idea!
