Convert MIFF to J2K

The Magick Image File Format (MIFF) is a platform-independent format developed by John Cristy for ImageMagick, designed to store bitmap images. MIFF supports extensive metadata, including image color profiles, comments, and copyright information, making it versatile for various applications. It is particularly useful in image processing and conversion tasks due to its ability to handle multiple image formats like JPEG, TIFF, and PNG. MIFF's history dates back to its inception as part of the ImageMagick toolkit, which is widely used for image manipulation across different platforms.

The J2K file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Code Stream Syntax, a part of the JPEG 2000 standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). Introduced in 2000, JPEG 2000 offers superior image compression and quality compared to the original JPEG format. The J2K codestream is highly flexible, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, and allows for scalable decoding, which means images can be efficiently accessed at various resolutions and quality levels. This makes J2K ideal for applications requiring high-quality image storage and transmission, such as medical imaging, digital cinema, and satellite imagery.
