Claim One:
1. A system for creating and using a digital image file with embedded high frequency image details, comprising: a digital image adapted to be stored as a digital image file with embedded high frequency image details; a blocking system to convert said digital image into pixel blocks; a wavelet transform system to wavelet transform said pixel blocks into wavelet parameters; a low frequency encoder for extracting a low frequency subset representing low frequency image data from said wavelet parameters and for transforming and compressing said low frequency subset using an image compression encoding system to create a compressed low frequency image file; a high frequency encoder for extracting a high frequency subset representing high frequency image data from said wavelet parameters and encoding said high frequency subset to create a compressed high frequency image data; and, a file creation system that inserts a high frequency image data tag and said compressed high frequency image data into said compressed low frequency image file.
