I read in a post that if a jpeg is to be downsampled then it is better to downsampled by 50% or 25%.
It seems this is something to do with not disturbing 8×8 block DCT boundaries in the jpeg. I don’t understand this level of detail myself.
My questions are
(1) How significant is the difference in the final 72 dpi version between downsampling to 55% for example, compared to 50% ?
(2) Does the 50% and 25% refer to a the linear dimension of the image such as the image height? Or does it refer to the total number of pixel points in the image?
