13 .SH DESCRIPTION
14 .LP
15 .B cjpeg
16 compresses the named image file, or the standard input if no file is
17 named, and produces a JPEG/JFIF file on the standard output.
18 The currently supported input file formats are: PPM (PBMPLUS color
19 format), PGM (PBMPLUS grayscale format), BMP, Targa, and RLE (Utah Raster
20 Toolkit format). (RLE is supported only if the URT library is available.)
21 .SH OPTIONS
22 All switch names may be abbreviated; for example,
23 .B \-grayscale
24 may be written
25 .B \-gray
26 or
27 .BR \-gr .
28 Most of the "basic" switches can be abbreviated to as little as one letter.
29 Upper and lower case are equivalent (thus
30 .B \-BMP
31 is the same as
32 .BR \-bmp ).
33 British spellings are also accepted (e.g.,
34 .BR \-greyscale ),
35 though for brevity these are not mentioned below.
36 .PP
37 The basic switches are:
38 .TP
39 .BI \-quality " N[,...]"
40 Scale quantization tables to adjust image quality. Quality is 0 (worst) to
41 100 (best); default is 75. (See below for more info.)
42 .TP
43 .B \-grayscale
44 Create monochrome JPEG file from color input. Be sure to use this switch when
45 compressing a grayscale BMP file, because
46 .B cjpeg
47 isn't bright enough to notice whether a BMP file uses only shades of gray.
48 By saying
49 .BR \-grayscale ,
50 you'll get a smaller JPEG file that takes less time to process.
51 .TP
52 .B \-rgb
53 Create RGB JPEG file.
54 Using this switch suppresses the conversion from RGB
55 colorspace input to the default YCbCr JPEG colorspace.
56 .TP
57 .B \-optimize
58 Perform optimization of entropy encoding parameters. Without this, default
59 encoding parameters are used.
60 .B \-optimize
61 usually makes the JPEG file a little smaller, but
62 .B cjpeg
63 runs somewhat slower and needs much more memory. Image quality and speed of
64 decompression are unaffected by
65 .BR \-optimize .
66 .TP
67 .B \-progressive
68 Create progressive JPEG file (see below).
69 .TP
70 .B \-targa
71 Input file is Targa format. Targa files that contain an "identification"
72 field will not be automatically recognized by
73 .BR cjpeg ;
74 for such files you must specify
75 .B \-targa
76 to make
77 .B cjpeg
78 treat the input as Targa format.
79 For most Targa files, you won't need this switch.
80 .PP
81 The
82 .B \-quality
83 switch lets you trade off compressed file size against quality of the
84 reconstructed image: the higher the quality setting, the larger the JPEG file,
85 and the closer the output image will be to the original input. Normally you
86 want to use the lowest quality setting (smallest file) that decompresses into
87 something visually indistinguishable from the original image. For this
88 purpose the quality setting should generally be between 50 and 95 (the default
89 is 75) for photographic images. If you see defects at
90 .B \-quality
91 75, then go up 5 or 10 counts at a time until you are happy with the output
92 image. (The optimal setting will vary from one image to another.)
93 .PP
94 .B \-quality
95 100 will generate a quantization table of all 1's, minimizing loss in the
96 quantization step (but there is still information loss in subsampling, as well
97 as roundoff error.) For most images, specifying a quality value above
98 about 95 will increase the size of the compressed file dramatically, and while
99 the quality gain from these higher quality values is measurable (using metrics
100 such as PSNR or SSIM), it is rarely perceivable by human vision.
101 .PP
102 In the other direction, quality values below 50 will produce very small files
103 of low image quality. Settings around 5 to 10 might be useful in preparing an
104 index of a large image library, for example. Try
105 .B \-quality
106 2 (or so) for some amusing Cubist effects. (Note: quality
107 values below about 25 generate 2-byte quantization tables, which are
108 considered optional in the JPEG standard.
109 .B cjpeg
110 emits a warning message when you give such a quality value, because some
111 other JPEG programs may be unable to decode the resulting file. Use
112 .B \-baseline
113 if you need to ensure compatibility at low quality values.)
114 .PP
115 The \fB-quality\fR option has been extended in this version of \fBcjpeg\fR to
116 support separate quality settings for luminance and chrominance (or, in
117 general, separate settings for every quantization table slot.) The principle
118 is the same as chrominance subsampling: since the human eye is more sensitive
119 to spatial changes in brightness than spatial changes in color, the chrominance
120 components can be quantized more than the luminance components without
121 incurring any visible image quality loss. However, unlike subsampling, this
122 feature reduces data in the frequency domain instead of the spatial domain,
123 which allows for more fine-grained control. This option is useful in
124 quality-sensitive applications, for which the artifacts generated by
125 subsampling may be unacceptable.
126 .PP
127 The \fB-quality\fR option accepts a comma-separated list of parameters, which
128 respectively refer to the quality levels that should be assigned to the
129 quantization table slots. If there are more q-table slots than parameters,
130 then the last parameter is replicated. Thus, if only one quality parameter is
131 given, this is used for both luminance and chrominance (slots 0 and 1,
132 respectively), preserving the legacy behavior of cjpeg v6b and prior.
133 More (or customized) quantization tables can be set with the \fB-qtables\fR
134 option and assigned to components with the \fB-qslots\fR option (see the
135 "wizard" switches below.)
136 .PP
137 JPEG files generated with separate luminance and chrominance quality are fully
138 compliant with standard JPEG decoders.
139 .PP
140 .BR CAUTION:
141 For this setting to be useful, be sure to pass an argument of \fB-sample 1x1\fR
142 to \fBcjpeg\fR to disable chrominance subsampling. Otherwise, the default
143 subsampling level (2x2, AKA "4:2:0") will be used.
144 .PP
145 The
146 .B \-progressive
147 switch creates a "progressive JPEG" file. In this type of JPEG file, the data
148 is stored in multiple scans of increasing quality. If the file is being
149 transmitted over a slow communications link, the decoder can use the first
150 scan to display a low-quality image very quickly, and can then improve the
151 display with each subsequent scan. The final image is exactly equivalent to a
152 standard JPEG file of the same quality setting, and the total file size is
153 about the same --- often a little smaller.
154 .PP
155 Switches for advanced users:
156 .TP
157 .B \-arithmetic
158 Use arithmetic coding.
159 .B Caution:
160 arithmetic coded JPEG is not yet widely implemented, so many decoders will be
161 unable to view an arithmetic coded JPEG file at all.
162 .TP
163 .B \-dct int
164 Use integer DCT method (default).
165 .TP
166 .B \-dct fast
167 Use fast integer DCT (less accurate).
168 In libjpeg-turbo, the fast method is generally about 5-15% faster than the int
169 method when using the x86/x86-64 SIMD extensions (results may vary with other
170 SIMD implementations, or when using libjpeg-turbo without SIMD extensions.)
171 For quality levels of 90 and below, there should be little or no perceptible
172 difference between the two algorithms. For quality levels above 90, however,
173 the difference between the fast and the int methods becomes more pronounced.
174 With quality=97, for instance, the fast method incurs generally about a 1-3 dB
175 loss (in PSNR) relative to the int method, but this can be larger for some
176 images. Do not use the fast method with quality levels above 97. The
177 algorithm often degenerates at quality=98 and above and can actually produce a
178 more lossy image than if lower quality levels had been used. Also, in
179 libjpeg-turbo, the fast method is not fully accelerated for quality levels
180 above 97, so it will be slower than the int method.
181 .TP
182 .B \-dct float
183 Use floating-point DCT method.
184 The float method is mainly a legacy feature. It does not produce significantly
185 more accurate results than the int method, and it is much slower. The float
186 method may also give different results on different machines due to varying
187 roundoff behavior, whereas the integer methods should give the same results on
188 all machines.
189 .TP
190 .BI \-restart " N"
191 Emit a JPEG restart marker every N MCU rows, or every N MCU blocks if "B" is
192 attached to the number.
193 .B \-restart 0
194 (the default) means no restart markers.
195 .TP
196 .BI \-smooth " N"
197 Smooth the input image to eliminate dithering noise. N, ranging from 1 to
198 100, indicates the strength of smoothing. 0 (the default) means no smoothing.
199 .TP
200 .BI \-maxmemory " N"
201 Set limit for amount of memory to use in processing large images. Value is
202 in thousands of bytes, or millions of bytes if "M" is attached to the
203 number. For example,
204 .B \-max 4m
205 selects 4000000 bytes. If more space is needed, temporary files will be used.
206 .TP
207 .BI \-outfile " name"
208 Send output image to the named file, not to standard output.
209 .TP
210 .BI \-memdst
211 Compress to memory instead of a file. This feature was implemented mainly as a
212 way of testing the in-memory destination manager (jpeg_mem_dest()), but it is
213 also useful for benchmarking, since it reduces the I/O overhead.
214 .TP
215 .B \-verbose
216 Enable debug printout. More
217 .BR \-v 's
218 give more output. Also, version information is printed at startup.
219 .TP
220 .B \-debug
221 Same as
222 .BR \-verbose .
223 .TP
224 .B \-version
225 Print version information and exit.
226 .PP
227 The
228 .B \-restart
229 option inserts extra markers that allow a JPEG decoder to resynchronize after
230 a transmission error. Without restart markers, any damage to a compressed
231 file will usually ruin the image from the point of the error to the end of the
232 image; with restart markers, the damage is usually confined to the portion of
233 the image up to the next restart marker. Of course, the restart markers
234 occupy extra space. We recommend
235 .B \-restart 1
236 for images that will be transmitted across unreliable networks such as Usenet.
237 .PP
238 The
239 .B \-smooth
240 option filters the input to eliminate fine-scale noise. This is often useful
241 when converting dithered images to JPEG: a moderate smoothing factor of 10 to
242 50 gets rid of dithering patterns in the input file, resulting in a smaller
243 JPEG file and a better-looking image. Too large a smoothing factor will
244 visibly blur the image, however.
245 .PP
246 Switches for wizards:
247 .TP
248 .B \-baseline
249 Force baseline-compatible quantization tables to be generated. This clamps
250 quantization values to 8 bits even at low quality settings. (This switch is
251 poorly named, since it does not ensure that the output is actually baseline
252 JPEG. For example, you can use
253 .B \-baseline
254 and
255 .B \-progressive
256 together.)
257 .TP
258 .BI \-qtables " file"
259 Use the quantization tables given in the specified text file.
260 .TP
261 .BI \-qslots " N[,...]"
262 Select which quantization table to use for each color component.
263 .TP
264 .BI \-sample " HxV[,...]"
265 Set JPEG sampling factors for each color component.
266 .TP
267 .BI \-scans " file"
268 Use the scan script given in the specified text file.
269 .PP
270 The "wizard" switches are intended for experimentation with JPEG. If you
271 don't know what you are doing, \fBdon't use them\fR. These switches are
272 documented further in the file wizard.txt.
273 .SH EXAMPLES
274 .LP
275 This example compresses the PPM file foo.ppm with a quality factor of
276 60 and saves the output as foo.jpg:
277 .IP
278 .B cjpeg \-quality
279 .I 60 foo.ppm
280 .B >
281 .I foo.jpg
282 .SH HINTS
283 Color GIF files are not the ideal input for JPEG; JPEG is really intended for
284 compressing full-color (24-bit) images. In particular, don't try to convert
285 cartoons, line drawings, and other images that have only a few distinct
286 colors. GIF works great on these, JPEG does not. If you want to convert a
287 GIF to JPEG, you should experiment with
288 .BR cjpeg 's
289 .B \-quality
290 and
291 .B \-smooth
292 options to get a satisfactory conversion.
293 .B \-smooth 10
294 or so is often helpful.
295 .PP
296 Avoid running an image through a series of JPEG compression/decompression
297 cycles. Image quality loss will accumulate; after ten or so cycles the image
298 may be noticeably worse than it was after one cycle. It's best to use a
299 lossless format while manipulating an image, then convert to JPEG format when
300 you are ready to file the image away.
301 .PP
302 The
303 .B \-optimize
304 option to
305 .B cjpeg
306 is worth using when you are making a "final" version for posting or archiving.
307 It's also a win when you are using low quality settings to make very small
308 JPEG files; the percentage improvement is often a lot more than it is on
309 larger files. (At present,
310 .B \-optimize
311 mode is always selected when generating progressive JPEG files.)
312 .SH ENVIRONMENT
313 .TP
314 .B JPEGMEM
315 If this environment variable is set, its value is the default memory limit.
316 The value is specified as described for the
317 .B \-maxmemory
318 switch.
319 .B JPEGMEM
320 overrides the default value specified when the program was compiled, and
321 itself is overridden by an explicit
322 .BR \-maxmemory .

337 This file was modified by The libjpeg-turbo Project to include only information
338 relevant to libjpeg-turbo, to wordsmith certain sections, and to describe
339 features not present in libjpeg.
340 .SH ISSUES
341 Support for GIF input files was removed in cjpeg v6b due to concerns over
342 the Unisys LZW patent. Although this patent expired in 2006, cjpeg still
343 lacks GIF support, for these historical reasons. (Conversion of GIF files to
344 JPEG is usually a bad idea anyway, since GIF is a 256-color format.)
345 .PP
346 Not all variants of BMP and Targa file formats are supported.
347 .PP
348 The
349 .B \-targa
350 switch is not a bug, it's a feature. (It would be a bug if the Targa format
351 designers had not been clueless.)
