Alternately, if you have any improvements in mind for the product, please consider funding the labor necessary to implement them. Recent Changes - Search :. View Edit History Print.

Setting cinfo. Your application can check for the existence of these extensions at compile time with:. At run time, attempting to use these extensions with a libjpeg implementation that does not support them will result in a "Bogus input colorspace" error. Applications can trap this error in order to test whether run-time support is available for the colorspace extensions.

When these colorspace constants are used, the X byte is guaranteed to be 0xFF, which is interpreted as opaque. Your application can check for the existence of the alpha channel colorspace extensions at compile time with:.

With libjpeg v7 and v8, new features were added that necessitated extending the compression and decompression structures. Unfortunately, due to the exposed nature of those structures, extending them also necessitated breaking backward ABI compatibility with previous libjpeg releases.

Thus, programs that were built to use libjpeg v7 or v8 did not work with libjpeg-turbo, since it is based on the libjpeg v6b code base. Although libjpeg v7 and v8 are not as widely used as v6b, enough programs including a few Linux distros made the switch that there was a demand to emulate the libjpeg v7 and v8 ABIs in libjpeg-turbo.

It has always been possible to implement this feature with libjpeg v6b see rdswitch. NOTE: As of this writing, extensive research has been conducted into the usefulness of DCT scaling as a means of data reduction and SmartScale as a means of quality improvement. Providing support for this new format would be feasible particularly without full acceleration. It is our belief that SmartScale has not demonstrated sufficient usefulness as a lossless format nor as a means of quality enhancement, and thus our primary interest in providing this feature would be as a means of supporting additional DCT scaling factors.

This requires the DCT scaling feature, which is not supported. This new field was introduced solely for the purpose of supporting lossless SmartScale encoding. Furthermore, there was actually no reason to extend the API in this manner, as the color transform could have just as easily been activated by way of a new JPEG colorspace constant, thus preserving backward ABI compatibility. Our research see link above has shown that lossless SmartScale does not generally accomplish anything that can't already be accomplished better with existing, standard lossless formats.
