Quality of transformations
--------------------------

Key to quality
--------------

-  **poor** (very lossy) - the bare minimum of metadata is preserved to
   allow image display, all other metadata is lost
-  **fair** (lossy) - 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

Matrix of transformation paths
------------------------------
This shows the sequence of transformations used to convert one version of the schema to another version.
