Hey Roger,

Can you explain or show me a link where you see this? I am not quite understanding the "picture info dialog box".

Thanks,
Markham

Thanks for the reply, Markham....I'm at work and can't see it, but I'll try again:
When you're looking at a gallery, you have thumbnails and one 'large' pic in view.
When you scroll the mouse over the large pic, the dialog box appears from the right allowing 2x, 3x viewing etc...and also an "information" button...a blue dotted "i", I think.
When you click this button, you can view a lot of photo and camera information (if available) under two different tabs. One of these has "jpeg quality" or "jpeg ratio", can't remember for sure...but I've been checking digital camera resources for some info on a "jpeg 5/15" comment but no luck....Tell me what you see and if you can, what it means.
Thanks,
Roger

Ok I know that field changes a lot depending on what brand camera you shoot with.

I will research out what the definition of that field is. Meanwhile, if you can send me an example that would be good.
