Quality of transformations

Key to quality

poor

the bare minimum of metadata is preserved to allow image display, all other metadata is lost

fair

a portion of the metadata is preserved, at least enough to display the image and some other data, it will be far from complete however

good

most information is preserved, it may be possible to do a better job but could be difficult for technical reasons or require custom code not just a transform

excellent

as much information as possible is preserved, some values can still be lost if there are completely incompatible with the new schema
