What About
Color? Although the algorithm outlined above assumed an image with only one color
component, specifically a gray-scale image, images with multiple color components are
compressed following the same algorithm. Color images are generally composed of three
components, such as the red, blue, and green of RBG. In these cases, JPEG treats the image
as though it were three separate images, each of a different color component, and each
image would be compressed separately. |
