This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and decompression. JPEG is a standardized compression method for full-color and gray-scale images. JPEG is intended for "real-world" scenes; cartoons and other non-realistic images are not its strong suit. JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not identical to the input image. The user can trade off output image quality against compressed file size by adjusting a compression parameter.
