CD Ripper compressing album art, even though its smaller then limit

[EliC]

The CD Ripper compressing album art, even though its smaller then the set limit. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to stop this?

If cd ripper has to make an album art change it will compress at a quality setting of 95 for jpeg.

But dBpoweramp is compressing images that are significantly smaller then my set limits. In fact it compresses nearly every picture I drop in. This shouldn't happen if the image is smaller then the limits the user sets.

You might have a pixel size set?

yes, but its 5000x5000 and 5mb or something like that, and dBpoweramp compresses every image (and I have never had an image near these limits)

How do you add the image? what is the image, a jpg?

Re: CD Ripper compressing album art, even though its smaller then limit

yes, the images are jpg. I drag and drop from the web into the album art area.

Possible bug noted.

Re: CD Ripper compressing album art, even though its smaller then limit

Yup, definite bug. I found a workaround. If I drag and drop to my PC, then drag to dBpoweramp, it doesn't happen. Only when dragging and dropping directly from the web.

Tracking this issue, I am not sure how you drag and drop the art, tried in IE 11 and Chrome and it is not possible to drag an art image into CD Ripper. If you copy and paste (with right click) then the copy action makes a BITMAP internally which has to be recompressed to jpg.
