Quoting original post: "Anyhow, until/unless there is community support behind SmartScale, it is unlikely that it will ever be adopted in libjpeg-turbo (I don't have any need for it in my own work, so it would pretty much have to be a funded development sort of deal.) Thus, the implementation of the libjpeg v7+ API and ABI would remain just that: an emulation and not a feature-complete implementation of jpeg-7 or jpeg-8." > - are there any apps like this? I'm not sure, it needs checking. Also, I don't know if libjpeg-turbo supports compilation as 12-bit. libtiff can use both 8- and 12-bit variants of libjpeg (both formats can be embedded in TIFF). Should we use 8-bit libjpeg-turbo and 12-bit IJG libjpeg? -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.pl/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en/lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en ----- End forwarded message ----- Начало треда: http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-devel-en/2013-January/023397.html -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.ru> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
