JPEG2000 is a standard file format that uses a type of compression based on wavelet technology. Compared to a JPEG file, the JPEG2000 offers higher compression without compromising quality. Large documents, such as maps, or photographs with a considerable amount of detail can be saved as JPEG2000 files in order to zoom in on the details of the item. SENYLRC has two licenses for saving files as JPEG2000. Contact Jennifer Palmentiero at SENYLRC if you are interested in JPEG2000 files. Here is a sample of an image saved as JPEG2000.
