--- Comment #23 from Tobias Deiminger <haxti...@posteo.de> --- (In reply to Tobias Deiminger from comment #22) > $ compare -metric SSIM test-1-original.jpg test-1-cairo-200dpi.png null: 2>&1 > 0.826331 There was a mistake in the example. The compare tool needs two identical sized images (it works otherwise, but does a completely different thing then). So now I scale up poppler output back to original size with a high quality filter before comparing images. Here are some first test results: | Test conditions | avg.

I'm planning to publish my test methods and open an issue at poppler. There we can discuss if we take action.
