Camera manufacturers do not support it in cameras, because RAW seems to be a better alternative for them. For archiving, lossless JPEG 2000 is a bit smaller than PNG, but much less universal, and it is slow to encode/decode. Photoshoppers might prefer to archive PCD with adjustment layers. For "high" quality web images [sic], even if JPEG 2000 were widely supported in browsers, it doesn't look much better than quality 85-95 (IJG scale) with 1x1 chroma subsampling, and doesn't save much additional space. For low quality web images, JPEG 2000 does produce smaller and better looking files. That seems like a very small win considering the hype and proprietary dead-end. I would be happy to hear arguments to the contrary. |
