Some rather sophisticated code is available on the Internet to reconstruct the quality value from the tables in a JPEG. It is claimed to work quite well for libjpeg-generated JPEGs. In my experience it can be off with JPEGs from other sources; I imposed a minimum value of 25 on it to prevent it from getting too low.
