COMPARISON OF DjVu AND JPEG FOR PHOTOS. DjVuPhoto, DjVu's wavelet-based image compression technique is optimal for photos, paintings, and other continuous-tone images. Here is a head-to-head comparison of DjVuPhoto and JPEG for photos of various resolutions and qualities. DjVu can produce files about half the size of JPEG for the same quality, with the added advantage of progressive rendering, and low-memory usage. There is also a paper entitled DjVu: Results and Comparisons which includes tables of results comparing the compression ratios of DjVu with other formats for documents of various types.
