I moved into this direction. Now I am looking to compress an 8x8 block
of pixels into a JPG as small as possible without loosing too much in
the quality. My target is 15-20 bytes for the entire block.
Is anybody aware of a library that let me compress without putting in
front all those headers???
I tried to save an 8x8 image from photoshop as JPG and i am getting an
incredibly huge 8KB(!!!) file. Can I compress to 15-20 bytes? After
all 10:1 compression should be standard with JPG and 8x8x3 = 192 bytes

Happy thanksgiving everybody!
