Photos app adds compression
I noticed that when I watch a photo using the Metro Photos app, there is a jpeg compression applied to the photo that degrades the image quality. When I watch the very same photo using the Windows Picture Viewer, no compression is added and the image quality is not decreased. See the images below; left is the image seen in Windows Photo Viewer and right as seen in the Photos app. Do you also experience this behavior Is there a way to turn off the compression that the Photos app adds? Because it is starting to become very annoying.
