Blink,

3 or 4 meg

Just some sort of FE interface?

After all these years using computers I'm still amazed with compression technology. A lot of folks tried to explain the mechanisms behind it to me but I never quite understood it... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Sascha,

you should take a look into fractal compression
for picture. If you thought jpeg is good
in compression, well, .fifs are about half
the .jpg size with the same quality.

Unfortnately it didn't became mainstream
but  http://www.altamira-group.com/html/products/download.html#viewer (http://www.altamira-group.com/html/products/download.html#viewer)  could be
interesting for you  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Dancer out.

PS: Can't wait for Jpeg 2000 - there the
user descides in what quality he wants to
