LuraWave in action!

After
the interest and much discussion triggered by my coverage of the JPEG
2000 specification news article and my pointers to the LuraWave plugin
I decided to publish a full gallery in LuraWave format. A new gallery,
the second samples gallery for the Sony DSC-F505 has just been put up
in LuraWave format.
Sony
DSC-F505 Review Samples Two (LuraWave format)
I'm fairly happy with the outcome, all
images were compressed at 88% compression which fairly closely matched
file sizes of JPEG images from other galleries, obviously I've had to
make a few changes to my gallery software but otherwise it was a fairly
easy transition.
My favourite thing about LuraWave (as
a webmaster) is the way the images progressively (and smoothly progressive,
unlike JPEG progressive) load. The least attractive thing I guess it that
it's not an "embeded" format, requiring a plugin download (if
you're using Microsoft IE 3+ the plugin will auto-install)...
Feeback from readers is appreciated, use
