JP2's are MUCH better than JPG's. I say this having taken dozens of high-res (40MB) TIFF's, converted each one to both a JPG & a JP2 at the same file size, and different compression ratios just to test out how they perform under more or less severe compression, then opened the two files side-by-side, zoomed in to 100%, and scrolled around looking for artifacts. JP2''s MUCH better.

(note, sometimes J2K is used instead of JP2 for JPEG-2000's).

The plugin works great. Not much more to say about it.

Thanks for making it free! Now I don't have to use Graphic Convertor to get JP2's in & out of Photoshop.
