- ImageTools for NEXTSTEP
- =======================
-
- Enclosed in this archive are the latest releases (known to bbum,
- anyway) of the IJG's JPEG implementation, the PBMPLUS package of
- image conversion tools, and Sam Leffler's LIBTIFF. A more detailed
- description of each is included below (mostly ripped from the
- READMEs-- see the READMEs for more information about each package).
-
- All utilities in libtiff were built using libjpeg.
-
- All utilities in PBMPLUS were built against the latest version of
- libtiff. The PBMPLUS distribution includes a version of libtiff from
- late 1991; the source to that version appears in a compressed form in
- the source tree for PBMPLUS, but the included PBMPLUS source has been
- modified to use the latest version of libtiff.

- Send me mail if you have any problems with this package!

- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software Release 5b (15-Mar-1995)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression
- and decompression. JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized
- compression method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is
- intended for compressing "real-world" scenes; cartoons and other
- non-realistic images are not its strong suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning
- that the output image is not necessarily identical to the input image.
- Hence you must not use JPEG if you have to have identical output bits.
- However, on typical images of real-world scenes, very good compression
- levels can be obtained with no visible change, and amazingly high
- compression levels are possible if you can tolerate a low-quality
- image.

- ---------------------------------
- TIFF Software Release v3.4beta004
- ---------------------------------
-
- This is software provides support for the Tag Image Format (TIFF).
- Included is a library, libtiff, for reading and writing TIFF, a
- collection of tools for doing simple manipulations of TIFF images, and
- documentation on the library and tools. A random assortment of
- TIFF-related software contributed by others is also included.
-
- The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
- your needs for reading and writing files that follow the 5.0 or 6.0
- TIFF spec. There is also considerable support for some of the more
- esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec.
-
- --------------------------------
- Extended Portable Bitmap Toolkit
- Distribution of 10dec91
- --------------------------------
-
- PBMPLUS is a toolkit for converting various image formats to and from
- portable formats, and therefore to and from each other. The idea is,
- if you want to convert among N image formats, you only need 2*N
- conversion filters, instead of the N^2 you would need if you wrote each
- one separately.
-
- In addition to the converters, the package includes some simple tools
- for manipulating the portable formats.
