ROSES AND THORNS

Compression technique is usually adopted in cases where a file or image is forced to occupy a small area in the memory. There are many softwares available for the compression of files and images. Basically two types of Compressions are available. Lossy and lossless compressions. Lossy compression, as the name indicates would have some data loss while compressing the files, on the other hand Lossless Compression would not result in any loss of data even after compression. Generally Lossy Compression is done to images, as small losses of data would not affect the entire picture. Lossless Compression in adopted to text file compressions because even a few losses of data in text file would convey a diferent message.
