1. A method, comprising:
encoding a first pixel of an image using a first lossy codec, wherein the first lossy codec has a first number of remaining bits per subpixel;
selecting, based on a remaining bit budget, a second lossy codec, wherein the second lossy codec has a second number of remaining bits per subpixel;
encoding a second pixel, immediately following the first pixel, using the second lossy codec,
wherein:
the first lossy codec has a first loss, according to a measure of loss;
the second lossy codec has a second loss, according to the measure of loss, the second loss being greater than zero and less than the first loss; and
the first number is greater than the second number.
