Hi list,
will jpeg 2000 ever be supported in GIMP. A similar
question was already asked in December 1999 to this list, however, situation has
quite changed since then, and the standard is now fully specified (in its fist
version at least). I once also read about patent issues, similar to Tiff, does
anyone know anything about that? In the web-pages I visited I couldn't really
figure this out.
I think that this new Graphic standard offers quite
nice features and should be taken into consideration. One nice feature is 16 bit
color, which probably will only be actual in Gimp 2.* (http://www.gegl.org/), however the wavelet
compression and the possible regions of interests are also
very interesting.
If you don't know about jpeg 2000, please
see:
Best regards
Manuel
