Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4 (G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the level of compression. If your image editing application does not support the type of compression format, then either a warning message will appear or the image quality of the compressed file will not be acceptable. This group developed and lent their name to a file compression standard for color and grayscale images that is widely used by scanners, and software applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file with the extension . jpg has normally been compressed using this standard.
