From what I understand and verified in my testing is that the `recompress original jpg quality` setting will resample the image no matter what if it is set below 100.

`max image size kb` is what will trigger a resample if it’s over this size, even with the above setting at 100. Both of these happen server side.

`composer media optimization image enabled` happens client side and will resample an image before it’s even uploaded. I turned this setting off because it strips the metadata, it might be doing some resampling in your case too.
