a better image format than MrSID

Legg inn av Duane Evenson » 18 mar 2005 00:18:36

I'm running linux and the MrSID viewer sucks -- besides having to open
up a separate viewer.
I also want to be able to store document images in the chosen format,
and not pay $3000 for an image encoder.
Right now I'm struggling with bloated tiff and pnm files.
Does anyone know of a comparable, open source, lossless file format?
