Techwatch: JPEG XT

I saw a mention of this JPEG standard and thought it of interest because it proposes to address some issues with the current standard.

Specifically, the XT flavor seeks to address issues of higher bit compression, HDRI imaging and... the alpha channel.

JPEG with Alpha... that's been needed for a very long time now... and using alpha channel with both lossy and lossless processing would be a welcome addition to the format.

 

For more info: https://jpeg.org/jpegxt/

For some open source software that reads and writes the format: https://jpeg.org/jpegxt/software.html

 

On the downside: The JPEG standard itself has some limitations of usage due to patents.
