There are many programs, free and costly, CLI or GUI oriented, for finding visually similar images mdash; but I'm looking for a next step in the process. It's known that saving the same source image in JPEG format at different quality levels produces different images, the one at the lower quality having more JPEG artifacts. I've been trying to find a method to compare two visually similar JPEG images and select the one with the fewest JPEG artifacts (or the one with the most JPEG artifacts, either will serve.) I also suspect that this is going to be one of those 'Well, of course, how else would you do it? It's so simple.' moments."pa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/09/07/16/2154238/Choosing-Better-Quality-JPEG-Images-With-Software?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/07/16/2154238"/a/ppa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/09/07/16/2154238/Choosing-Better-Quality-JPEG-Images-With-Software?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cZRGBEXWZEyWx8tnT0JDsZIzHlI/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cZRGBEXWZEyWx8tnT0JDsZIzHlI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cZRGBEXWZEyWx8tnT0JDsZIzHlI/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cZRGBEXWZEyWx8tnT0JDsZIzHlI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/Z9h1R_Bz8hY" height="1" width="1"/
