JPEG2000 plug-in for Photoshop (tested)
|
LuraTech,
the creators of the LuraWave image compression format (which we've covered
previously) has release a JPEG2000 plug-in for Adobe Photoshop. You can
download a 30 day trial copy TODAY for a glimpse into the future of JPEG
compression. The full version of the plugin is priced at $79.95, an SDK
is also available. JPEG2000 files (at least as loaded/saved by this plug-in
have the .JP2 extension). We've done some side-by-side analysis of JPEG
vs. JPEG2000 using a 4 megapixel TIFF from Sony's DSC-S85, the results
are impressive. JPEG2000 also features a highly compressed lossless 'sub
format' which we've calculated equates to approximately 1 MB per megapixel
(very impressive).
