Thats not the point, its the user's responsibility to present the image as he
would like them compressed. Suggesting using a noise polluted source to test is
doing things backwards... if it removes them its ok and if it doesnt remove them
its still ok, well that was a usefull test. Test with an image sequency which
naturally has high frequency components.
