LICENSE

A PostScript version of this document is available by FTP

at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jfif.ps.gz. There is also a

plain text version at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jfif.txt.

gz, but it is missing the figures.

The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by

FTP from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.gz. The

JPEG incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec of

3-June-92 has a number of serious problems.

IJG does not recommend use of the TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF

Compression tag 6).

Instead, we recommend the JPEG design proposed by

TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of

this Note can be obtained from ftp.sgi.com or from ftp://

ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the next

revision of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design

with the Note’s design.

Although IJG’s own code does not support TIFF/JPEG,

the free libtiff library uses our library to implement TIFF/

JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available from ftp://ftp.sgi.

com/graphics/tiff/.

ARCHIVE LOCATIONS

The “official” archive site for this software is ftp.uu.net

(Internet address 192.48.96.9). The most recent released

version can always be found there in directory graphics/

jpeg. This particular version will be archived as ftp://ftp.

uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz.

If you don’t have direct Internet access, UUNET’s archives

are also available via UUCP; contact [email protected]

for information on retrieving files that way.

Numerous Internet sites maintain copies of the UUNET

files. However, only ftp.uu.net is guaranteed to have the

latest official version.

You can also obtain this software in DOS-compatible “zip”

archive format from the SimTel archives (ftp://ftp.simtel.

net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/graphics/), or on CompuServe in

the Graphics Support forum (GO CIS:GRAPHSUP), library

12 “JPEG Tools”. Again, these versions may sometimes

lag behind the ftp.uu.net release.

The JPEG FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) article is a

useful source of general information about JPEG. It is

updated constantly and therefore is not included in this

distribution. The FAQ is posted every two weeks to

Usenet newsgroups comp.graphics.misc, news.answers,

and other groups.

It is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.faqs.

org/faqs/jpeg-faq/ and other news.answers archive sites,

including the official news.answers archive at rtfm.mit.

edu:

ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/jpeg-

faq/.

RELATED SOFTWARE

Numerous viewing and image manipulation programs

now support JPEG. (Quite a few of them use this library

to do so.) The JPEG FAQ described above lists some of

the more popular free and shareware viewers, and tells

where to obtain them on Internet.

If you are on a Unix machine, we highly recommend Jef

Poskanzer’s free PBMPLUS software, which provides

many useful operations on PPM-format image files. In

particular, it can convert PPM images to and from a

wide range of other formats, thus making cjpeg/djpeg

considerably more useful. The latest version is distributed

by the NetPBM group, and is available from numerous

sites, notably ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/graphics/graphics/

packages/NetPBM/.

Unfortunately PBMPLUS/NETPBM is not nearly as portable

as the IJG software is; you are likely to have difficulty

making it work on any non-Unix machine.

A different free JPEG implementation, written by the

PVRG group at Stanford,

is available from ftp://havefun.stanford.edu/pub/jpeg/.

This program is designed for research and experimentation

rather than production use; it is slower, harder to use, and

less portable than the IJG code, but it is easier to read

and modify. Also, the PVRG code supports lossless

JPEG, which we do not. (On the other hand, it doesn’t do

progressive JPEG.)

FILE FORMAT WARS

Some JPEG programs produce files that are not compatible

with our library.

The root of the problem is that the ISO JPEG committee

failed to specify a concrete file format. Some vendors

“filled in the blanks” on their own, creating proprietary

formats that no one else could read. (For example, none

of the early commercial JPEG implementations for the

Macintosh were able to exchange compressed files.)

The file format we have adopted is called JFIF (see

REFERENCES). This format has been agreed to by a

number of major commercial JPEG vendors, and it has

become the de facto standard. JFIF is a minimal or “low

end” representation.

We recommend the use of TIFF/JPEG (TIFF revision 6.0

as modified by TIFF Technical Note #2) for “high end”

applications that need to record a lot of additional data

about an image. TIFF/JPEG is fairly new and not yet

widely supported, unfortunately.

The upcoming JPEG Part 3 standard defines a file format

called SPIFF.

SPIFF is interoperable with JFIF, in the sense that most

JFIF decoders should be able to read the most common

variant of SPIFF. SPIFF has some technical advantages

over JFIF, but its major claim to fame is simply that it is an

official standard rather than an informal one. At this point

it is unclear whether SPIFF will supersede JFIF or whether

JFIF will remain the de-facto standard. IJG intends to

support SPIFF once the standard is frozen, but we have

not decided whether it should become our default output

format or not.

(In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading

JFIF indefinitely.)

Various proprietary file formats incorporating JPEG

compression also exist.

We have little or no sympathy for the existence of these

formats. Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing

this free software was to help force convergence on

common, open format standards for JPEG files. Don’t use

a proprietary file format!

TO DO

The major thrust for v7 will probably be improvement of

visual quality.

The current method for scaling the quantization tables

is known not to be very good at low Q values. We

also intend to investigate block boundary smoothing,

“poor man’s variable quantization”, and other means

of improving quality-vs-file-size performance without

sacrificing compatibility.

In future versions, we are considering supporting some

of the upcoming JPEG Part 3 extensions --- principally,

variable quantization and the SPIFF file format.

As always, speeding things up is of great interest.

Please send bug reports, offers of help, etc. to jpeg-info@

uunet.uu.net.
