Is it possible to have a lossless JPEG file?  If so, what would the
compression be vs. a typical original with no compression?  I have only
heard/read of lossy JPEG, since this is how one obtains better file sizes
for distribution purposes.  A recent article I came across mentioned
"lossless JPEG", however, and I'd like to check. Thanks in advance!
