Just what we needed - another picture format
![]() * Multiple color formats for display or print * Fixed or floating point high dynamic range image encoding * Lossless or high quality lossy compression * Extremely efficient decoding for multiple resolutions and sub-regions * Minimal overhead for format conversion or transformations during decode With the increasing power of hardware, even in mobile devices, I'm not sure that JPEG really needs this kind of radical makeover for a general purpose format. Well, not unless Vista uses so many system resources that in the future we have to squeeze a little extra cpu power wherever possible! Via Slashdot. |

I thought jpeg2000 was going to be the next big format for images (wavelet compression and all that). Whatever happened to that?

jpeg2000 decompression still uses alot of cpu. thats probably, why it hasnt succeded yet, because the compression results are alot better than jpeg.
