1990s, lossy compression methods began to be widely used. In these schemes, some loss of information is accepted as dropping nonessential detail can save storage space. There is a corresponding trade-off between preserving information and reducing size. Lossy data compression schemes are designed based on research on how people perceive the data in question. For example, the human eye is more sensitive to subtle variations in luminance than it is to the variations in color.
