What is an LJP file?
.LJP files are Lossless JPEG images, which means they are compressed image files that maintain all the original image data without any loss in quality during compression.
More Information.
Lossless JPEG was introduced as an extension to the JPEG standard to cater specifically to applications where maintaining original image quality is crucial, such as medical imaging, archival purposes, and professional photography.
Origin Of This File.
The Lossless JPEG format was developed to offer a compression method for JPEG images that preserves every bit of the original image data, unlike traditional JPEG compression which involves some loss of quality.
File Structure Technical Specification.
- Compression: Lossless JPEG uses predictive coding and entropy coding to achieve compression without losing image data.
- Format: It adheres to the JPEG format structure but employs different algorithms for encoding.
- File Extension: Typically represented with the .LJP extension.
