- The rest agrees pretty much with what I know. However, I think I remember
- that JPEG did not use a RGB model, but some other color model. This is
- because changes in luminosity are more easy spotted by the human eye
- than changes in saturation in hue. The exact color model I do not know,
- but I think I remember that about double the number of information was
- kept for luminosity than for the other two color vectors.
