GD image file format[1] is not an "object", just dumb data stored externally, same as PNG, JPG, TIF, etc. I now see the module on CPAN. Not sure if it's worth re-iterating, what I suggested was no JPGs in t folder, because same image file can't be expected to decode to same data. Neither $new->jpeg(50) is reliable:

v5.32.1 2.76 d0116830c00ed65dbebfd53afec1dcd0 v5.16.3 2.49 a26bc180a0f0067e00788dee47975324

for CoventryCathedral.jpg source, because (1) comment segments are

CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v90), quality = 50 CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v80), quality = 50

respectively, and (2) APP0 segment stores aspect ratio for the former, vs. dots-per-inch resolution for the latter, for no obvious reason. +Of course I meant image coders/decoders.
