 Compression
& File Formats
- WSQ - Wavelet Scalar Quantization
- Reduces file size varies based on compression technology used (more).
- JPEG (Sequential) – 24-bit RGB, 2 to 8-bit grayscale
- Patented technology for enhanced JPEG decompression will remove block artifacts from over-compressed JPEG images without blurring
- IPTC metadata support within JPEG
- JPEG-LS – 24-bit RGB, 2 to 16-bit grayscale
- Provide excellent lossless or near-lossless compression performance over a broad range of images
- Programmatically set compression for lossless or near lossless, and point transform
- Compress and decompress single component 2 to 16-bit grayscale images
- Compress and decompress multiple component 24-bit (RGB) images
- Compress and decompress 24-bit (RGB) images in any of three modes: Non-interleaved, line-interleaved, or sample-interleaved
- Encode/decode application (APP), Comment (COM), and Restart (DRI, RST) Markers
- Supports image cropping
- Strictly adheres to the JPEG-LS specification
- Lossless JPEG – 24-bit RGB, 2 to 8-bit grayscale
- PCX
- TGA
- TIFF
- BMP
- DCX
- GIF / LZW
- HD Photo (JPEG XR) - HDP, WDP
- Offers higher image quality, greater preservation of data and advanced features for today’s digital imaging applications
- A still image compression algorithm for continuous tone image data and features lossy, as well as lossless, compression, multiple color spaces, a wide dynamic range, and extensive metadata support
- Implementation in PICTools is 40% to 60% faster than Microsoft’s shipping HD Photo DPK

Processing & Editing
- Delivers buffer to buffer image processing for maximum flexibility
- Includes the high-performance API (Application Programmers Interface) offers total control of image processing functions
