These is a recurrent topic.  
We have been having problems with image compression previously, as there seems that the software tries to compress each image uploaded by the users.

We are a photography forum and our users complain about their photos loosing quality (they loose quality indeed).

Till now we have circunvented it changing compression parameters. We have stablished a threshold of 1.2 MB and 2000 px width.  
Images that are less than 1.2 MB in weight and 2000 px size should not be recompressed before uploading and only images that exceed that should be recompressed.

But lately we are having complains of users that say that their image is slightly recompressed even when te image is less than 1.2 MB and 2000 px width.

Has there been any changes in composer working?

Is there any way to be sure that images which complain with that parameters are not touched or recompressed by the system?

Thank you for your help.
