JPEG XR is an approved ISO/IEC International standard (its official
|
|
designation is ISO/IEC 29199-2).
|
|
|
|
JPEG XR started its life in Microsoft Research. It publicly first appeared
|
|
as the HD Photo format in Windows Vista.
|
|
|
|
For web developers, JPEG XR has a large number of interesting features, see
|
|
the table below. Some of these are big advantages over other image formats
|
|
like JPEG, PNG, OpenEXR, and TIFF.
|
|
- Better Compression (40% smaller than JPEG)
|
|
- Lossless Mode (better compression than PNG)
|
|
- Alpha Channel (compress color lossy and alpha losslessly)
|
|
- Extended Bitdepth (supports 8-, 16-, and 32-bit/channel)
|
|
- Progressive Decode
|
|
- Advanced Decoding Features (tile-based layout, for efficient
|
|
region-of-interest access.)
