+
+
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+This package contains C software to implement JPEG image compression and
+decompression.  JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg") is a standardized compression
+method for full-color and gray-scale images.  JPEG is intended for compressing
+"real-world" scenes; line drawings, cartoons and other non-realistic images
+are not its strong suit.  JPEG is lossy, meaning that the output image is not
+exactly identical to the input image.  Hence you must not use JPEG if you
+have to have identical output bits.  However, on typical photographic images,
+very good compression levels can be obtained with no visible change, and
+remarkably high compression levels are possible if you can tolerate a
+low-quality image.  For more details, see the references, or just experiment
+with various compression settings.
+
+This software implements JPEG baseline, extended-sequential, and progressive
+compression processes.  Provision is made for supporting all variants of these
+processes, although some uncommon parameter settings aren't implemented yet.
+For legal reasons, we are not distributing code for the arithmetic-coding
+variants of JPEG; see LEGAL ISSUES.  We have made no provision for supporting
+the hierarchical or lossless processes defined in the standard.
+
+We provide a set of library routines for reading and writing JPEG image files,
+plus two sample applications "cjpeg" and "djpeg", which use the library to
+perform conversion between JPEG and some other popular image file formats.
+The library is intended to be reused in other applications.
+
+In order to support file conversion and viewing software, we have included
+considerable functionality beyond the bare JPEG coding/decoding capability;
+for example, the color quantization modules are not strictly part of JPEG
+decoding, but they are essential for output to colormapped file formats or
+colormapped displays.  These extra functions can be compiled out of the
+library if not required for a particular application.  We have also included
+"jpegtran", a utility for lossless transcoding between different JPEG
+processes, and "rdjpgcom" and "wrjpgcom", two simple applications for
+inserting and extracting textual comments in JFIF files.
+
+The emphasis in designing this software has been on achieving portability and
+flexibility, while also making it fast enough to be useful.  In particular,
+the software is not intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG.  (See the
+REFERENCES section for introductory material.)  Rather, it is intended to
+be reliable, portable, industrial-strength code.  We do not claim to have
+achieved that goal in every aspect of the software, but we strive for it.
+
+We welcome the use of this software as a component of commercial products.
+No royalty is required, but we do ask for an acknowledgement in product
+documentation, as described under LEGAL ISSUES.
+
+
+LEGAL ISSUES
+============
+
+In plain English:
+
+1. We don't promise that this software works.  (But if you find any bugs,
+   please let us know!)
+2. You can use this software for whatever you want.  You don't have to pay us.
+3. You may not pretend that you wrote this software.  If you use it in a
+   program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that
+   you've used the IJG code.
+
+In legalese:
+
+The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied,
+with respect to this software, its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or
+fitness for a particular purpose.  This software is provided "AS IS", and you,
+its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality and accuracy.
+
+This software is copyright (C) 1991-1998, Thomas G. Lane.
+All Rights Reserved except as specified below.
+
+Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this
+software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these
+conditions:
+(1) If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this
+README file must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice
+unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files
+must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation.
+(2) If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying
+documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of
+the Independent JPEG Group".
+(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts
+full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept
+NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.
+
+These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code,
+not just to the unmodified library.  If you use our work, you ought to
+acknowledge us.
+
+Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name
+in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from
+it.  This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's
+software".
+
+We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of
+commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are
+assumed by the product vendor.
+
+
+ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch,
+sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA.
+ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead
+by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally,
+that you must include source code if you redistribute it.  (See the file
+ansi2knr.c for full details.)  However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part
+of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than
+the foregoing paragraphs do.
+
+The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf.
+It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable.
+The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub,
+ltconfig, ltmain.sh).  Another support script, install-sh, is copyright
+by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable.
+
+It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by
+patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi.  Hence arithmetic coding cannot
+legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses.  For this reason,
+support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software.
+(Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented
+Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.)
+So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining
+code.
+
+The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files.
+To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has
+been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce
+"uncompressed GIFs".  This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the
+resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard
+GIF decoders.
+
+We are required to state that
+    "The Graphics Interchange Format(c) is the Copyright property of
+    CompuServe Incorporated.  GIF(sm) is a Service Mark property of
+    CompuServe Incorporated."
+
+
+REFERENCES
+==========
+
+We highly recommend reading one or more of these references before trying to
+understand the innards of the JPEG software.
+
+The best short technical introduction to the JPEG compression algorithm is
+	Wallace, Gregory K.  "The JPEG Still Picture Compression Standard",
+	Communications of the ACM, April 1991 (vol. 34 no. 4), pp. 30-44.
+(Adjacent articles in that issue discuss MPEG motion picture compression,
+applications of JPEG, and related topics.)  If you don't have the CACM issue
+handy, a PostScript file containing a revised version of Wallace's article is
+available at ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/wallace.ps.gz.  The file (actually
+a preprint for an article that appeared in IEEE Trans. Consumer Electronics)
+omits the sample images that appeared in CACM, but it includes corrections
+and some added material.  Note: the Wallace article is copyright ACM and IEEE,
+and it may not be used for commercial purposes.
+
+A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in
+"The Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson and Jean-loup Gailly, published by
+M&T Books (New York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN 1-55851-434-1.  This book provides
+good explanations and example C code for a multitude of compression methods
+including JPEG.  It is an excellent source if you are comfortable reading C
+code but don't know much about data compression in general.  The book's JPEG
+sample code is far from industrial-strength, but when you are ready to look
+at a full implementation, you've got one here...
+
+The best full description of JPEG is the textbook "JPEG Still Image Data
+Compression Standard" by William B. Pennebaker and Joan L. Mitchell, published
+by Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993, ISBN 0-442-01272-1.  Price US$59.95, 638 pp.
+The book includes the complete text of the ISO JPEG standards (DIS 10918-1
+and draft DIS 10918-2).  This is by far the most complete exposition of JPEG
+in existence, and we highly recommend it.
+
+The JPEG standard itself is not available electronically; you must order a
+paper copy through ISO or ITU.  (Unless you feel a need to own a certified
+official copy, we recommend buying the Pennebaker and Mitchell book instead;
+it's much cheaper and includes a great deal of useful explanatory material.)
+In the USA, copies of the standard may be ordered from ANSI Sales at (212)
+642-4900, or from Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179.  (ANSI
+doesn't take credit card orders, but Global does.)  It's not cheap: as of
+1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part 1 and $47 for Part 2, plus 7%
+shipping/handling.  The standard is divided into two parts, Part 1 being the
+actual specification, while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods.  Part 1
+is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images,
+Part 1: Requirements and guidelines" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS
+10918-1, ITU-T T.81.  Part 2 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of
+Continuous-tone Still Images, Part 2: Compliance testing" and has document
+numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-2, ITU-T T.83.
+
+Some extensions to the original JPEG standard are defined in JPEG Part 3,
+a newer ISO standard numbered ISO/IEC IS 10918-3 and ITU-T T.84.  IJG
+currently does not support any Part 3 extensions.
+
+The JPEG standard does not specify all details of an interchangeable file
+format.  For the omitted details we follow the "JFIF" conventions, revision
+1.02.  A copy of the JFIF spec is available from:
+	Literature Department
+	C-Cube Microsystems, Inc.
+	1778 McCarthy Blvd.
+	Milpitas, CA 95035
+	phone (408) 944-6300,  fax (408) 944-6314
+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
+help@uunet.uu.net 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

+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.
