- Compression Information
- -----------------------
- LEADVIEW For Windows supports both JPEG (JFIF, JTIF, & JPG) and LEAD's
- proprietary CMP compressed file format. When compressing an image,
- you can use either options as well as predefined options. Also, you can
- enter a Qfactor value of 2 through 255 to determine the degree of loss
- for compression.
-
- When using LEAD CMP, a predefined Perfect Quality Option 2 (PQ2) will
- give the highest possible compression without loss of image quality.
-
- When compressing with JPEG (JFIF, or JTIF), LEADVIEW supports
- 4:4:4 (1:1:1), 4:2:2, and 4:1:1 color sub-samplings. (4:4:4 will produce
- the best Quality compressed image, while 4:1:1 will produce the smallest file
- size. 4:2:2 is the middle between the two.)
