Hi DoCos,

Libjpeg 9 improves lossless JPEG compression

The Independent JPEG Group (IJG) at the German Institute for Applied Informatics (InfAI) has released a new version of the libjpeg library. The developers say it can compress photos in JPEG format in a lossless way and, apparently, libjpeg 9 outputs lossless JPEG files that are smaller than the equivalent PNG file of the same image

Better than PNG AND lossless, nice! But what about alpha channel/transparency? Hmmmm...!

Browser issue? I'm used to be able to edit the entire message, including the subject
Edit: Hm, this might be a forum permission issue, can't change the subject of this message either

Hi Ath,

thanks for proofing me NOT being too dumb. And thanks for your effort to test.

Do you think is this going to be implementable in regular .jpg .jpeg files?

if so, wonder how long it'll take...

Perhaps you reached the char limit?
