- Description
- A JP2 file is a compressed bitmap image created using JPEG 2000 Core Coding. It incorporates a wavelet compression algorithm instead of Digital Cosine Transform (DCT) compression, which is used by standard JPEG images. JP2 files can be stored using lossy and lossless compression.
- An SK1 vector graphic file is a file format primarily used by the sK1 illustration program, which focuses on providing professional-quality design features for prepress processing. Unlike other vector formats, the SK1 file format is unique for its support of CMYK color, which is crucial for color accuracy in printing. It also includes advanced features such as color profiles and spot colors, making it particularly suitable for tasks that require precise color matching and high-quality print outputs.
