[filmscanners] Re: JPEG2000 > Paul



Thanks for the link Robert. I've just tried it. It compressed a 55mb
Photoshop file into a lossless 10mb .jp2 file.
Is it really lossless ? If so, people need to know about this.
Cheers,
Andre

http://www.fnordware.com/j2k/ This one is free. AFAIK this one is based on
kakadu which is one of the best and cheapest j2k codecs available. There is
another free PS plug-in one but I forgot the URL.

I tested their codec about 1/2 years ago. It's one of the slowest j2k
encoders I have found. Also their customer service is pretty bad and prices
for the SDK are quite steep.

It's only minimal for low compression ratios. Regarding compression ratios
j2k shines for high compression ratios.
