Many years ago, when creation of a bitmap editing application was pondered by 
some of the experts of the day, the concensus was that a program to 
selectively throw away data was not a very interesting idea. Fortunately Tom Knoll did 
not agree. The great irony of digital image editing is that losing data can 
make an image look better, so much better that its hard to fathom that the 
process used to get there was one of tossing image data; be that tossing it out the 
window entirely, or tossing it through the cracks in the 8 bit per channel 
floor boards, where is might possibly resurface later.
