Remarks

JPEG2000 is an image format which implements wavelet-based compression algorithm. This algorithm provides high compression ratio with better quality than JPEG. This compression is also lossy, however JPEG2000 artifacts are looking visually better comparing to JPEG.

Graphics Mill for .NET can save bitmaps to JPEG2000 format in two color spaces:

  • RGB;
  • Grayscale;

These bitmaps can be both extended (16 bit per channel) and non-extended (8 bit per channel). Also, these bitmaps may contain an alpha channel.
