Compression Information
-----------------------
LEADVIEW For Windows supports both JPEG (JFIF, JTIF, & JPG) and LEAD's
proprietary CMP compressed file format. When compressing an image,
you can use either options as well as predefined options. Also, you can
enter a Qfactor value of 2 through 255 to determine the degree of loss
for compression.
When using LEAD CMP, a predefined Perfect Quality Option 2 (PQ2) will
give the highest possible compression without loss of image quality.
When compressing with JPEG (JFIF, or JTIF), LEADVIEW supports
4:4:4 (1:1:1), 4:2:2, and 4:1:1 color sub-samplings. (4:4:4 will produce
the best Quality compressed image, while 4:1:1 will produce the smallest file
size. 4:2:2 is the middle between the two.)
