About JP2 to JPEG conversion

JP2 is released in 2000 as the successor to JPEG and is the common in medical and archival contexts for medical imaging, archival. JPEG was created by Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992 and is best for photographs, web images. Note: JPEG doesn't support transparency. Any transparent areas in your JP2 file will appear white in the converted JPEG. JP2 files can be a problem when their support is limited — converting to JPEG solves compatibility issues.
