Even after so many years, most digital cameras still produce.jpg images and a good portion of all images on the web are.jpg images.Now imagine if all.jpgs were about 10 percent smaller with exactly the same quality.
And it is more effective and the files using arithmetic coding are a bit smaller. Arithmetic Compression Software Patents AndThe sad thing is that the JPEG standard had this option, but nobody dared to use it due to software patents and the previous disaster with GIFs. This particular software patent cost us all a lot of money (sum those 10 up). ![]() But it is too late now, as every piece of software would have to be updated to be compatible with the new JPEGs. If you want to try it right now, grab this and replace the current codec in your installation folder. If you want to make your own comparisons of how much space it can save you, be sure to save both with and without arithmetic coding at the same time to avoid possible re-saving loss. However, living in Europe I believe we dont have software patents (though Im not sure if thats a per-country basis or EU specific). ![]() Decompressing arithmetic takes about 9 times longer compared to Huffman using JPEG-Turbo, and 5 times longer using old JPEG. ![]() The greatest compression ratio difference (13) is found in large non-uniform images (where various parts would have different optimal huffman codes). And on the web, this difference is dwarfed by the typical bloat of cssjavascript, and overhead from calling advertisingtracking bugs. We can also often encounter JPEG files with meaningless ExifXmp metadata automatically generated by Photoshop, which bloat their size. ACDSee with its unique read-ahead and cache-behind features was even needed for normal files. I have just had a Hard Drive repaired and many of my photos now will not open. But that 50K in savings represents 11 of 450K (50K450K10011.1), not 10. For example, if you saved 33, then the resulting decrease in size would represent 50 of the smaller sizes value.
