I have know idea (sorry),

a side question:

is JPEG2000 an actual standard yet? I was following the movement in 2001, but it seems that development dropped off. The standard seem to be a great improvement on the old jpeg standard. Does photoshop CS2 support JP2 ?

JPEG 2000 is a new image coding system that uses state-of-the-art compression techniques based on wavelet technology. Visit this site for more details: http://www.jpeg.org/jpeg2000. And yet, it include motion JPEG 2000 which is similar to MPEG files. I dont think photoshop CS2 support JP2, maybe soon. And that is why I'm asking someone else to help me find the source for my application. Specially the encoder/decoder thing... :)

Amaw man siguro ka!

Exactly! And that is why I'm asking anyone who knows about it. I know it's kinda hard for someone who will intrust his/her knowledge to someone else whom he/she don't know. But what make sense is, you were able to share it with others and make them use for it. That makes us "No Man Is An Island"! :)

Found this in the newsgroup microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing: (February 2005 info)

Sorry to discourage you but I haven't seen anything that does JPEG2000 under

.NET yet.

It's certainly a frequently asked question.

ImagXpress™ JPEG2000 Add On

ImagXpress JPEG2000 Add On is $699 for a single development license. This product may also involve additional licensing.

:x

Would be cool to have though. I just wish the format was open source and license free. Just check out the image sample in the above link for a comparison on the same file size. A cool thing about JPEG2000 is that you can also tell it to "compress an image to 80K" and it will do that, setting compression as necessary. :) It has the regular method of "compress at 80% quality" too. It also has a lossless compression mode, and even supports transparency / alpha channels, EXIF metadata, and more!

Sadly, it's a hugely patented area. Basically it uses whats called a wavelet transform which is kinda like the fourier transform. It's pretty well known math especially to ANYONE in the sciences or engineering but patenting math is what software patents are all about. Often you'll find devs ignore it or just choose a slower/crappier hackish way of getting around the precise wording.

You'll have to use P/Invoke and build a dll.

:yes: Is that so, actually I made my own analysis of this JPEG2000 file and I came up to this information I get out of this file:

(Motion JPEG2000 file analysis)

File Offset = 0x0000000000000000 (0)

Normal Box Size = 0x0000000C (12)

Box Type = jP (Level 1) => JPEG2000 family signature

---------------------------------------

File Offset = 0x000000000000000C (12)

Normal Box Size = 0x00000014 (20)

Box Type = ftyp (Level 1) => File type

Major Brand = 0x6D6A7032 (1835692082)

Minor Version = 0x00000000 (0)

Compatible Version = 0x6D6A7032 (1835692082)

---------------------------------------

File Offset = 0x0000000000000020 (32)

Large Box Size = 0x0000000001E85A71 (32004721)

Box Type = mdat (Level 1) => Media Data

(Data) = Main data exists here

---------------------------------------

File Offset = 0x0000000001E85A91 (32004753)

Normal Box Size = 0x00000529 (1321)

Box Type = moov (Level 1) => Movie

...

...

My problem now is on how to manipulate the real codec thing, so that I can create an Image object that will handle a JPEG2000 file. :(

Would it be possible if I will make it without the lib of JPEG2000 or any reliable source related to JPEG2000 which will help me develop this thing? :rolleyes:

ps: I never been to vancouver/island, or anywhere in canada. I'm actually planning to work in canada or somewhere in the US. Is there someone who can help me find a job related to my work now? (Software Developer)

    • Ah so it's not in the .ISO it's self but it changes the definition in the OOBE update during setup?
    • They always have. This just updates what's included out of the box during the initial install.
    • So basically their prebuilding it into the ISOs?
    • Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
