PixelFormat is used for decompression, that is, for reading in files. PixelFormat will also apply to a bitmap if the image is copied to it.
  • Colors - is used for speed in output optimization. When Colors is set to GrayScale, the color is separated from luminosity. Color takes the most time to decompress, so for previewing the image, Colors can be set to GrayScale for speed. The output will contain 255 shades of gray.
  • Quality - use Quality to set the compression quality of the JPEG image when writing out a JPEG image. This property is not used for reading in files. Higher compression results in a poorer picture quality, but a smaller file size.
  • Progressive - use Progressive to compress an image when writing out files, so that it can be progressively displayed when it is decompressed.
