Image Compression

Specifies the compression settings to use when saving color and grayscale images in Grooper.

Remarks

The Image Compression class serves as the abstract base for all image compression configuration objects in Grooper. It defines the interface for specifying how images are compressed when saved, including the file format, encoder settings, and file extension. Derived classes implement specific compression algorithms such as JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, and others.

Image Compression objects are used throughout Grooper wherever images are exported, stored, or transmitted, ensuring that the appropriate compression method and settings are applied for the intended use case. If no value is specified, the default settings defined on the Root node will be used.

Configuration Guidance

• Select a derived compression type (e.g., JPEG, JPEG 2000) to match your quality, performance, and compatibility requirements.
• Configure the properties of the selected compression type to balance image quality and file size.
• Use the 'File Extension' property to determine the file format that will be used when saving images.

Image Compression is essential for optimizing storage, transmission, and interoperability of images processed by Grooper.

Derived Types

There are 2 implementations of Image Compression.

JPEG	Configures JPEG compression settings for saving continuous tone images in Grooper.
JPEG 2000	Configures JPEG 2000 compression settings for saving continuous tone images in Grooper.
