A link to JPEG compression explained in some depth, but with light still reaching the bottom so as to not be too scary.
Via Jeff Atwood, “an excellent visual explanation of how JPEG works“. Includes both JPEG and JPEG 2000, with an emphasis on explaining the algorithms well.
Thanks for that link. It’s the best I’ve seen yet on the subject.
