With the help of XnViewMP, I've now examined jpg files produced by some of my cameras which range in age from very new to around 20 years old. So far it looks like none of them know anything about Progressive Mode. In that, maybe the TV makers new what they were talking about when saying they supported jpg files produced by cameras. Might this have been equivalent to saying they did not support Progressive Mode?
My new, Canon Rebel T6, camera was purchased earlier this year. This is a entry level DSLR capable of providing files in the raw format but from what I can see does have quite a bit of processing power.
If camera makers see Progressive Mode as at best unnecessary and for all I know undesirable, why should I want Progressive Mode? I'm inclined to think that I should like what they like. This leads me to a more obvious question which is why would GIMP choose to make Progressive Mode the default? Isn't what I've discovered, we've discussed herein, a good reason that GIMP should caution users and make sure they know the possible consequences of choosing Progressive Mode? Wouldn't it be proper for naive GIMP users, like myself, to expect that their jpg exports are compatible with their cameras?
