[comp.graphics] JPEG pictures archive site?

pophal@nicmad.UUCP (Gerry Pophal) (04/22/91)

 Just wondering if there are any archive sites with JPEG pictures?
Or would anyone care to mail me some? I just recieved a copy of the
Kodak Colorsqueeze viewer for the mac. It claims JPEG compatability.
Now to try it out on some JPEG files.

In spite of the marketing claims to the contrary, none of the "JPEG" 
compression programs for the Mac (include Colorsqueeze, Radius's ImpressIt
or Storm Technology's PicturePress) are compatible with each other and
none compress to true JPEG, which as far as I know hasn't been completed
yet.  The only images you will be able to read are those compressed by
the Colorsqueeze software.  See the review of JPEG compressors in the April
23, 1991 issue of MacWeek for more details.
