Hi Yoav, Basically that's it, many images on the Web don't fit to MCUs because people are no longer familiar with JPEG inner workings or simply don't care about the percent or two of the file size they could save, in the other hand digital camera makers still closely follow this rule (that's perhaps because their engineers don't have the time to leave the fast track and fiddle with data padding). Nevertheless knowing how JPEG works may help make better educated guesses, who knows what's the difference between quality 50 and 51 in Photoshop Save for Web? who knows that the quality level of luma and chroma can be set totally independently?

Since many of the images on the web don't perfectly fit MCUs (The 8x8 pixel "boxes"), I think we should test whatever we want to test on a large number of images, extracted from the Web. Some will be a perfect fit, but some won't. > > Let me know if I got it wrong, > Yoav
