   Are these images JPEG compressed?  JPEG compression is lossy and throws   
   away information based on visibility to the human eye.  The human eye has   
   far fewer short wavelength (roughly blue) cones than medium and long   
   wavelength cones (even more roughly green and red).  The eye may have   
   evolved this way because neither predators nor prey are blue, also   
   resulting in an eye where blue is significantly defocused when red and   
   green are in focus, thus higher levels of compression can be used for   
   blue without being evident to the observer.
