26 - image compression :: use a library like gimp or opencv to process an
27 image to make it have less entropy, then store the reverse of
28 those operations along with the compressed simpler image as a

30 lesses). Trades file size for decompression time, and allows one
31 to cheat by using information in gimp/opencv to compress the
32 image.
