A few questions on JPEG quality, TIFF Capture

Post by masterfurda »

Now that I have Spreads GUI installed and running (On a clean Lubuntu 14.04 system thanks to the guide posted here), I have a few questions to tweak my process.

1) How does one force Spreads to capture in TIFF format? Is it a configuration in the camera's CHDK settings?
2) Is it possible to adjust the JPEG compression and/or quality options?

Thanks!

I figured out that my cameras, Canon A2500s, have settings in the menu to override the quality settings, so that seems to have bumped up the quality a notch. If anyone is wondering, it is in the Enhanced Photo Operations menu and is labeled Override JPEG Quality.

can you save as RAW

If so they could be converted to TIFF
