Is KLEAR a lossy or lossless compression process?
KLEAR is a lossy process in that the original idata is replaced with the converted data. However, KLEAR does such a good job of representing the data, by minimizing errors in low frequency data, that converted and compressed data is virtually indistinguishable from the original. (Of course, this depends in part on the actual sampling co-rate that the original palette is created from) Who owns KLEAR? KLEAR was developed by Auralist, Lawrence A. Duhart.
