"HD Photo

HD Photo, also known as Windows Media Photo, is a new file format for continuous-tone still images that surpasses the limitations of existing image formats. HD Photo supports a wide range of features, including:

 

• Multiple color formats for display or print

 

• Fixed or floating point high dynamic range, wide gamut image encoding

 

• Lossless or high-quality lossy compression

 

• Extremely efficient decoding for multiple resolutions and sub-regions

 

• Minimal overhead for format conversion or transformations during decode

 

 

HD Photo delivers a lightweight, high performance algorithm with a small memory footprint that enables practical, in-device encoding and decoding. HD Photo delivers image quality that is comparable to JPEG-2000 and more than twice the quality of JPEG.

 

Windows Media Photo has been renamed as HD Photo. Both names refer to the same file format. Some Microsoft Windows products still refer to the HD Photo implementation as Windows Media Photo.

 

This download contains version 1.0, the released version, of the specification and is fully compatible with the version of HD Photo (Windows Media Photo) that is currently shipping with Windows Vista, Windows Image Component (WIC), and .NET Framework 3.0.

Et generalisert "raw-format" som har en reell sjanse om å lykkes?

Det kan nok aldri erstatte RAW format som tilbyr mye mer enn dette. Men jpeg-formatet er gammelt og har helt klare begrensinger så noe som kan erstatte det formatet er velkomment.
