After my THIRD story on the revolutionary compression technology call HIPIX from Human Monitoring, I thought that is the end; or at least the end for a while!
Was I wrong ;)
I received another response from Ira of HM!
Dear C.Y.
I really am sorry for not letting this go by, but I hate thinking that there is even one PSP user thinking we treated PSP wrong.
I have been using PSP at home for many years and it is beautiful. JPEG however has limitations.
Photoshop does not necessarily do a better job, but a more clever one - by putting a limit to the compression.
With PSP you can compress images of 12MP to 200KB getting these topographic maps, which Photoshop will prevent you from getting, but you'll end up with 350KB instead.
So here's a screen capture sequence of my coding session using JASC PSP7 (that's what I have at home).
You can see for yourself, single shot, no editing, resolution, size and all, how we got what we got.
Sorry JASC, COREL, Adobe, it's not you, it's the 8x8 DCT and Huffman with no spatial prediction and many other tools.
Yours truly, Ira.
Hmmm... Ira also gave me a link to download an AVI clip showing the two photos being JPEG-ed by his Paint Shop Pro (PSP).
