JPEG 2000?...It's still a JPEG - contrary to rumours that it's a TIFF - compressed but lossless.
TIFFs and JPEGs do not support the same features and, therefore, cannot possibly be thought of as the same file format.
I understood that
1) tiff (Tagged image file format) was a file format, and that jpeg (Joint Photographic Expert Group) was an algorithm for compressing files, jpeg 2000 being a different and lossless form of compression.
2) A .jpeg or .jpg is a tiff format file that has been compressed using the jpeg compression algorithm.
Unfortunately what I understand and what is reality are often at odds with each other. Anyone care to enlighten me?
