I have to admit to having a strong bias against any form of compression.  I can just about accept it with things like .jpg files if handles with care but I thnk compression just adds another possible failure point.  These days with hard drives being very cheap I would rather add another drive and keep everything uncompressed. 

It is a highly personal point of view but in my line of work I come across people who have lost data through failure of compression and encryption systems or forgotten passwords.  In some cases I can recover the passwords but if that is the case it really defeats the object of encrypting it in the first place.  I have also known users who have used compression on their backup discs only to find that it will not uncompress needed. 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
