'''Modified READ''' ('''MR''') is the name of the image compression algorithm used in 2-dimensional [[CCITT Group 3]] format. READ stands for Relative Element Address Designate.

It first encodes most rows as the difference between the current row and the previous row, then uses [[run-length encoding]], followed by [[Huffman coding]].

For more information, see [[CCITT Group 3]].
