JPEG 2000 is a recent image compression standard and coding system (developed in 2000).
Compared with the JPEG compression method, JPEG 2000 compression is more efficient (including
48 bit color depth support) and allows for
lossless compression, without quality
reduction.
Note: JPEG 2000 is supported as of Adobe Acrobat 10. If you are using PitStop with
earlier versions of Adobe, you will not be able to preview JPEG 2000 images.
The JPEG 2000 compression method cannot be used for:
- Inline images
- Very small images
The
lossy JPEG 2000 compression method is not applicable for:
- Images with indexed color space
- Images with tiling color space
- Images with shading color space
- Color masked images
