Didn't the patent holders for jpg say they were going to start charging for the use of the jpg format a few months ago? I remember something along those lines.

I work for a company involved in digital image printing..... lossy compression, image format and such are terms I am accustomed to hearing in our graphics department.
PNG format? I am not accustomed to hearing about PNG inside my employers realms - not at all - but I already knew about it from Linux - seems that Linux likes PNG for such things as Icons and wallpaper. Now I have a website to send them to.

Nice work OuTpaTienT!

I was a Dreamcast h4x0r. The first time I heard of PNG was when a util came out to put your own logo on the DC splash screen. It used the PNG format.

Nice article, may be worth mentioning that you can actually get perfect quality jpeg compression if you opt to use "lossless jpeg" (obsolete, poor compression ratio & not well supported) or, I think, jpeg-ls (better compression but also has poor support). I assume you are talking about baseline jpeg compression, which is indeed incapable of ever producing "perfect" quality output. Not that it really matters, I was just bored at work

Hey does anyone know much/anything about jpeg2000? Cuz photoimpact allows that as a format, has the option for lossless compression.

Never really used it tho, figured nothing much would support it since i had never heard anything about it .
