I don't like progressive decoding. Lots of people don't realize that it's a thing, and complain that my photo is blurry when it simply hasn't loaded fully yet. If it just loaded normally from top to bottom, it would be obvious whether it has loaded or not, and people will be able to more accurately judge the quality of the image. That's why I always save my JPEGs as baseline encoding.

Is there no good progress indicator that gets you the best of both worlds - instant image recognition and the ability to wait and get better quality?
