Make Adept a dedicated tool written in C

[technopagan]

Since basically what AJC is doing is simulating ROI (Region Of Interest) in a file format that does not have this feature (the Quantization Tables are applied to the entire image), the result is that it actually shaves off some DCT coefficients (rounds them down or turns them to zero) from time to time, why not doing it with a dedicated tool directly in memory at the DCT level instead of playing around with hundreds of files and half a dozen tools? This way it could be integrated right into a JPEG encoder that takes optimization at heart like Mozjpeg.

This is a great idea, would definitely improve runtime by reducing I/O.

how is this going, someone actually on it ?

We are in the process of getting dedicated engineering time to work on this port. As you can imagine, this is a lenghty process.

Can't wait to see this work done, and thx for all ur dedication
