JPEG XR is Now an International Standard

Actually, the real image visual quality of JPEG XR is NOT so good as claimed by Microsoft themselves. JPEG2000 is better than JPEG XR as well as Google WebP. Another image compression technique called Lucid seems work better than them, look at www.qualvisual.net for some comparison results. Quite interesting.

Very interesting format...

... is there any way I could test it somehow?

I'm currently using OpenEXR + Jpeg2000 and it looks like jpeg XR might fill a big gap.

Go go go!!

When might we see point & shoot digital cameras with JPEG XR support?

Hello Bill,

I've found your introduction to jpeg xr very interesting, and would like to look forward to seeing more adoption of the standard. I do have one question though. So currently I find MS WIC solution to be only (relatively) widely available encoding solution for jpeg xr. Can you explain in plain words how to relate quality constant when converting jpeg xr to say that of normal jpeg, or at least give a brief guideline as to which number you consider perceivably fine/mediocre/poor for normal photo(/documents) uses? There isn't much explanation and too few articles concerning this on the internet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Any updates on that?

Will we see it in new Cameras, Photo Editing Tools etc?

Thanks.

I notice that JPEG XR/HD Photo is still not listed on the Open Specification Promise website, and the reference implementation is still not compatible with most open source licenses.

Considering that every major browser other than IE and Opera are open source, this seems to me to be a major adoption blocker.

But then again, IE still doesn't support it either. Maybe just avoiding the embarrassment of having a 3rd party product implementing it first! :=P

Thanks!

Wow! At Last! It is officially called JPEG XR! That's one of the better news to hear. Currently, a good portion of my image archive (scans, snapshots, screenshots, artworks, etc.) is in JPEG XR format and now they are STANDARD!

So, I wonder what's going to happen next. Basically, how software are going to support this standard? What about Microsoft products? Are we going to be able to share our JPEG XR on the Internet or send photo mails without having to convert our JPEG XR snapshots? Is Internet Explorer going to support JPEG XR in its <img> tags?

Or... JPEG 2000 is a standard too, right? But it's so obscure... I hope history won't repeat itself.
