I'm ageeeing on using LWZ tiffs. JPEG2000 has a number o f vendors that support it. Perhaps it is not popular with photographers, but it is used in GIS. I use the compress or from ECW. You can view JPEG2000 in Irfanview.
If the owners ligthened up on royalties so that browsers could use JPEG2000, it would become the standard. I'm not sur e there will ever be the day where a format can't be conv erted. Bits are bits. Hardware issues, sure, but if you h ave the data, you will be able to convert it. ------Or iginal Message------ From: LAURIE SOLOMON Sender: filmsca nners_ow...@halftone.co.uk To: li...@lazygranch.com Reply To: filmscanners@halftone.co.uk Subject: [filmscanners] R E: Advice on scanner settings Sent: Feb 26, 2009 9:35 AM From my understanding JPEG 2000 is a dead fish in terms of support and adoptions. If my understanding is correct , you would wind up with orphaned files that neither you nor anyone else would be able to open and read in the fut ure; not good for archives. :-) The standard JPEG and th e TIFF are at least universal and established formats tha t are supported by almost all programs and are likely to be so in the future. >You are should do the LWZ tiff. I am not sure what you are trying to say here. -----Orig inal Message----- From: filmscanners_ow...@halftone.co.uk [mailto:filmscanners_ow...@halftone.co.uk] On Behalf Of li...@lazygranch.com Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 10 :52 AM To: lau...@advancenet.net Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Advice on scanner settings You can JPEG2000, which h as a lossless option. I would have to research it, but I think it only uses 8 per color. You are should do the LWZ tiff. ------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by m ail to listser...@halftone.co.uk, with 'unsubscribe films canners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropr iate) in the message title or body ------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to listser...@halftone.c o.uk, with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe fil mscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title o r body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to listser...@halftone.co.uk, with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
