I dunno about that. I was doing some playing around. Basically, taking a
large 400k jpeg, and saving it as a 200k wavelet compressed image. It
didn't look too bad, but it was far from indistingushable.
I was impressed with it's compression, if you don't care about quality.
After reducing a 400k jpeg to a 4k .lwf file, I could still make it out,
quite well.
