Are their any quality differences on the output end between JPEG and JPEG 2000 ? Color Gamuts, Pattern / Moire, apparent resolution, etc. Does this change if the output device is a laser based output device vs. an inkjet ?
Tell me more

JPEG 2000 is rarely used except in extremely high resolution images, or cases in which bandwidth is limited. In any case, you really should go with JPG unless you have very specific concerns, none of which are likely to happen in the realm of photography. |

It is my understanding that Bay Photo as well as SmugMug do not accept JPEG 2000 files. JPEG 2000 has not really caught on due to many reasons that I outlined in this previous answer. SmugMug(excluding SmugVault and video file types) supports JPEG, GIF, and PNG files. Note that PNG files cannot be printed from SmugMug either. JPEG 2000 is its own format with a .jp2 extension. As far as color space, it looks like Bay Photo prefers sRGB but also accepts Adobe RGB. To sum it up, the quality difference is non existent, because to my knowledge it is not possible to print or store a JPEG 2000 image using SmugMug or Bay Photo. |
