DjVu:
DjVu is a new image compression technology. DjVu allows the
distribution on the internet of very high resolution images of
scanned documents, digital documents, and photographs.
DjVu typically achieves compression ratios about 5 to 10 times
better than existing methods such as JPEG and GIF for color
documents, and 3 to 8 times than TIFF for black and white
documents.
