ImageZero for lossless photo compression
[Development] Posted Jan 30, 2012 14:31 UTC (Mon) by corbet

Christoph Feck has announced the first release of ImageZero, a lossless photo compression tool. "Being twice as fast as PNG when decompressing (and more than 20 times faster when compressing) it achieves compression ratios that are near or better than PNG for natural photos, sometimes even better than JPEG-LS for very high quality photos." The code is available on gitorious. (Thanks to Paul Wise).
