JPEG 2000 a great step forward for the archival community
The Digital Preservation Coalition has examined JPEG 2000 in a report published today. The report concludes that JPEG 2000 represents a great stride forward for the archival community. The format now allows for greater compression rates and a recompression rate that is visually lossless.

TASI (Technical Advisory Service for Images) is very pleased to announce dates and details of our workshops for January to April 2008.
