Compressors Supplied by Apple

Apple supplies six image-compression algorithms with the Image Compression Manager. This chapter discusses each of these compressors and identifies their strengths and weaknesses in light of the compression characteristics just discussed. You can use this discussion as a guideline for choosing a compression algorithm for your specific situation. All the compressors support both temporal and spatial compression except for the Photo and Raw Compressors, which support only spatial compression.
