The emphasis in designing this software has been on achieving portability and
flexibility, while also making it fast enough to be useful. In particular, the software is not
intended to be read as a tutorial on JPEG. (See the REFERENCES section for
introductory material.) Rather, it is intended to be reliable, portable, industrial-strength
code. We do not claim to have achieved that goal in every aspect of the software, but we
strive for it.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents
owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used
without obtaining one or more licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding
has been removed from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding provides only
a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many
implementations will support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions
on the remaining code.

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid
entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed
altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs".
This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than
usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.

A somewhat less technical, more leisurely introduction to JPEG can be found in "The
Data Compression Book" by Mark Nelson and Jean-loup Gailly, published by M&T
Books (New York), 2nd ed. 1996, ISBN 1-55851-434-1. This book provides good
explanations and example C code for a multitude of compression methods including
JPEG. It is an excellent source if you are comfortable reading C code but don't know
much about data compression in general. The book's JPEG sample code is far from
industrial-strength, but when you are ready to look at a full implementation, you've got
one here...

In the USA, copies of the standard may be ordered from ANSI Sales at (212)642-4900,
or from Global Engineering Documents at (800) 854-7179. (ANSI doesn't take credit
card orders, but Global does.) It's not cheap: as of 1992, ANSI was charging $95 for Part
1 and $47 for Part 2, plus 7% shipping/handling. The standard is divided into two parts,
Part 1 being the actual specification, while Part 2 covers compliance testing methods.
Part 1 is titled "Digital Compression and Coding of Continuous-tone Still Images, Part
1: Requirements and guidelines" and has document numbers ISO/IEC IS 10918-1, ITU-

The TIFF 6.0 file format specification can be obtained by FTP from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/
graphics/tiff/TIFF6.ps.gz. The JPEG incorporation scheme found in the TIFF 6.0 spec
of 3-June-92 has a number of serious problems. IJG does not recommend use of the
TIFF 6.0 design (TIFF Compression tag 6). Instead, we recommend the JPEG design
proposed by TIFF Technical Note #2 (Compression tag 7). Copies of this Note can be
obtained from ftp.sgi.com or from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/. It is expected that the
next revision of the TIFF spec will replace the 6.0 JPEG design with the Note's design.
Although IJG's own code does not support TIFF/JPEG, the free libtiff library uses our
library to implement TIFF/JPEG per the Note. libtiff is available from
