PGM Raw at a glance
PGM Raw
The raw PGM branch reflects the practical evolution of Netpbm-style tool formats: keep the tiny header and easy parsing, but move the pixel raster into a binary form that is much more usable for real data sizes.
JPF at a glance
JPF
JPEG 2000 arrived as a major standards effort to improve on classic JPEG, but its practical adoption concentrated in specialist domains rather than in the universal browser-and-camera role held by JPEG.
