About JPEG

JPEG is therefore a good choice for building database systems with images, such as product, personnel or incident photos, however, due to it's 'lossy' nature and the inclusion of metadata (eg EXIF info) jpg images require careful handling and processing to avoid quality and data loss.

• jpg graphics filter setup.
  The jpeg graphics filter is an optional office component, so users may need to retrieve the Office CD-ROMs and manually install the filter using the custom setup option.
• 'Scroll too quick' crash and progress dialog.
  Developers often complain about the "annoying progress dialog" that is displayed while the jpeg filter decodes a .jpg file, as well as a crash problem if users scroll too quickly through records. Suppressing the dialog requires modifying the registry on each user's machine.
• No native support for storing jpg images in a table.
  Working with jpg images stored in a table requires extensive coding and the overhead of extracting jpeg images to temporary files.
• Different behaviours for different file extensions (.jpg .jpeg .jfif .JPG .JPEG).
  

Common problems include configuration and installation issues, a storage overhead that can be up to 200 *times* the original file size, loss of metadata (eg the EXIF info in JPEG photos), loss of quality when 'extracting' back to a jpeg file, and lack of interoperability due to proprietary formatting.

DBPix was specifically designed by imaging specialists to work optimally in Access, and to make the most of the jpeg format.

DBPix can bind directly to jpg data in tables, resulting in 'no code' solutions (zero lines), with none of the storage overhead of some other approaches.

DBPix offers enhanced capabilities, such as lossless jpeg rotation, zoom, pan, scanner integration, an image & EXIF info viewer, and optimal EXIF handling. DBPix can be easily and reliably installed (transparently to the user) and is not affected if users install other applications or change the registered application for the jpg/jpeg file extensions.
