Fantasy video game environment, stone (jpeg q60)
The same 512x512 photograph written as jpeg q60. Baseline JPEG at quality 60. Every member of this group is identical pixels, so a decoder returning different dimensions or a different pixel count has lost something rather than simply produced a different file; the 24-bit PNG in this group is lossless and is the reference the lossy members are measured against Source plate g-fantasy-keep.

Testing contract
Expected to pass- Scenario
- Decode this file and the 24-bit PNG in the same group, compare dimensions and pixel count, then check the decoded properties against the ones declared in its specs.
- Expected result
- It decodes to 512x512 with colour mode YCbCr. The encode is lossy, so the pixels may differ from the reference while the geometry may not. Every member of this group is the same source image, so a reader that returns different dimensions has demonstrably lost something rather than read a different file.
What is a .jpg file?
JPG is the common extension for JPEG, a lossy raster format that uses discrete cosine transform compression tuned for photographic images. It is 8-bit truecolor with no alpha channel, and quality is traded against file size via a compression factor. It is ubiquitous for photos on the web and from cameras.
How to use this file
Use an example JPG to test decoders, EXIF/metadata parsers, re-encoding quality, and orientation handling, or to confirm converters and image pipelines process baseline and progressive scans correctly.
How to use this file for testing
“Fantasy video game environment, stone (jpeg q60)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Media handling. Generated stills, clips and audio published in several encodings of identical content, so a media pipeline can be tested on format handling, quality loss and frame or sample extraction against a reference that is known rather than assumed.
Documented properties for this file: 512×512. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
For image AI or enhancement tools, run the model or filter on this file and diff against the clean or ground-truth companion in the same group when available. Keep seeds and documented damage parameters in your evaluation notes so regressions are attributable.

- bmpA Black man in his seventies with grey (bmp 24bit)The same 512x350 photograph written as bmp 24bit. BMP stores rows bottom-up, so a reader that ignores that returns the image flipped.
