Toggle color subsampling
Description
Feature request: The ability to enable and disable (toggle) color subsampling for JPG.
Disabling color subsampling gives higher quality files wheres enabling it gives smaller filesizes.

Thanks.
For Greenshot 1.2.x this is not an option, as the .NET Framework doesn't provide a way to do this (AFAIK).
See a blog entry about it here:

We would need to add additional libraries, which do not work with .NET 2.x
So I will see what we can do with newer version,
Some people call it "color subsampling" other call it "chroma subsampling".
Please take a look at the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling
I use Greenshot in conjunction with FastStone Photo Resizer because the latter has the option for "color subsampling". I use Greenshot to capture png files and then I convert them to jpg with color subsampling disabled (and set the quality slider to "100") to get the best quality. Filesizes are about 60% less while giving me nearly the exact same result.
It would be great if I only needed one application rather than two, hence my request.
Can you elaborate your feature request a bit?
