Advantages
Less disc space.
Faster writing and reading.
To obtain these advantages the compression and decompression must be carried out directly and reading programs.
Variable dynamic range.
Byte order independent.
Disadvantages
Added complication.
Effect of error in transmission.
Need to decompress all previous data.
stripping or tiling, or look-up tables can partially overcome these problems.
slower for sophisticated methods.
"Unknown" byte/ pixel relationship.
