JPEG 2000
The JPEG format has been around for a long time; over a decade, in fact. There are some big changes in store for the next decade as the ISO and DIG work together on a new standard for the JPEG format, entitled JPEG 2000: Image Coding System. If we're lucky, news about the new standard should be forthcoming in the next year. The goals for the new JPEG 2000 standards include the following enhancements:
- wavelet technology for a more efficient compression scheme
- 20% smaller files in byte-size
- higher image quality than current JPEG
- eliminates "artifacts" inherent to the current JPEG compression scheme
- user-controlled resolution; download only the amount of resolution needed
- lossless save
- embedded ICC profiles
- improved metadata capability bringing extensibility to the format
- improved color handling
