- Here are the Independent JPEG Group jpeg compress and decompressor (version 2),
- compiled for the Amiga with with SAS/C 5.10a.
-
- files:
- AMIGA-NOTE - this file
- README - original JPEG source package readme file
- cjpeg - jpeg compressor executable
- djpeg - jpeg decompressor executable
- cjpeg020 - jpeg compressor optimized for 68020 and higher processors.
- djpeg020 - jpeg decompressor optimized for 68020 and higher proc.
-
- extensions to the original:
-
- cjpeg can read IFF ILBM files, including HAM and 24-bit ILBM.
-
- djpeg can directly produce IFF ILBM output, including 24-bit,
- 4-bit grayscale and HAM.
-
- Quantized ILBM pictures (-q option) don't look good because of the single
- pass color quantization algorithm used (same problem with GIF files).
-
- Also, HAM conversion uses a really simple algorithm, and may not look
- very good (of course depending on the picture).
-
- If you want high quality output, use either PPM (default) or 24-bit ILBM
- output and then convert with for example ADPRO (commercial) or wasp.
- (note: wasp reads both PPM and 24-bit ILBM format, but djpeg (this version)
- writes PPM files faster than ILBM files)
-
- You can also use 24-bit ILBM output with cards/devices such as HAM-E,
- DCTV, Video Toaster, GVP Impact Vision etc.
-
- usage:
-
- compressor:
-
- cjpeg [-Q quality] [-o] [-T] [-d] source-file destination-file
-
- the optional quality parameter affects compressed file size and picture
- quality (the amount 'loss' of information in the compression)
- range is 0 to 100, default is 75.
-
- source file can be GIF, PPM, Targa or ILBM format (including HAM
- and 24-bit ILBM). destination will be, of course, in JPEG JFIF format.
-
- other options:
-
- -T Targa input file mode.
-
- -o optimize entropy encoding parameters.
-
- -d debug mode.
-
-
- decompressor:
-
- djpeg [-b] [-q colors] [-D] [-g] [-G] [-T] [-I] [-H] [-d] source-file dest-file
-
- options:
-
- -b - cross-block smoothing. may increase image quality with pictures
- compressed with high -Q values.
-
- -q colors quantize the colors and generate a file with the given amount
- of colors. note that a single pass quantization algorithm is used,
- resulting in non-optimal image quality.
-
- -D do not use dithering in quantization (changed from previous version).
-
- -g generate grayscale image.
-
- -G select GIF output file format.
-
- -T select Targa output file format
-
- -I select IFF ILBM output file format. if this is selected with -q,
- a normal ILBM file will be created; with -g, a grayscale 4-bitplane
- ILBM image will be created; otherwise, a 24-bit ILBM file format
- will be used.
-
- -H select IFF ILBM HAM output file format. this uses a simple
- algorithm resulting in non-optimal image quality.
-
- -d debug mode.
-
- output file will be in raw PPM format if no other options are given.
- source file must be in JPEG JFIF format (naturally...)
-

- Philip Gladstone, Luis Ortiz, and other members of the independent JPEG
- group.
