+/// Rerun also supports compressed image encoded as JPEG, N12, and YUY2.
+/// Using these formats can save a lot of bandwidth and memory.
+/// \python To compress an image, use [`rerun.Image.compress`][].
+/// \python To pass in an already encoded image, use  [`rerun.ImageEncoded`][].
+/// \rust See [`rerun::components::TensorData`] for more.
+/// \cpp See [`rerun::datatypes::TensorBuffer`] for more.
+///
 /// \cpp Since the underlying `rerun::datatypes::TensorData` uses `rerun::Collection` internally,
 /// \cpp data can be passed in without a copy from raw pointers or by reference from `std::vector`/`std::array`/c-arrays.
 /// \cpp If needed, this "borrow-behavior" can be extended by defining your own `rerun::CollectionAdapter`.
-/// \python For an easy way to pass in image formats or encoded images, see [`rerun.ImageEncoded`][].
