Both formats, briefly
JPGIN
JPG is where photographs end up by default. Its compression discards detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a camera shot fits in a few hundred kilobytes instead of tens of megabytes. That suits scenes built from gradients and texture. It suits screenshots and line art badly, because the discarded detail shows up as smudging around hard edges. Every re-save loses a little more, so keep an original if you plan to edit the file more than once.
JP2OUT
JP2 is the JPEG 2000 container, and it works on wavelets rather than the small blocks of ordinary JPEG. It compresses either lossily or losslessly, blurs rather than blocks as quality drops, and can be decoded progressively or only for the region you asked for. Those properties made it standard in digital cinema packages, medical imaging systems, and satellite and mapping data. Browsers largely skipped it, so files usually need converting for general use.
