    Compression and formats can be separate from one another. For example, the image taken could be “sharpened” by some garbage AI before being saved in whatever file format. This kind of smoothing is typical for something like that.

      Right, but in this case I wasn’t sure if it was horrible compression or just an AI-generated image. So again, my reasoning for saying what I formats I use was to give some context: I’ve never seen such awful artifacts, nor have I been given the option to use a format that creates such artifacts (that I’m aware of).

      If I have already known all this, I probably wouldn’t have commented. Weird “let’s fight” vibes on this post.
