The trade-offs between compression ratio and image quality become evident in this image series. The original image (a) shows increasingly noticeable artifacts at 8:1 (b), 12:1 (c), 16:1 (d), 24:1 (e) and 48:1 (f) compression ratios. The definition of acceptable image quality is application dependent, however.
