Support for Jpeg XR

Post by Winnow »

The Joint Photographic Experts Group decided earlier this week to officially endorse the Microsoft HD Photo file format as the eventual heir apparent to the JPEG standard. In order to be adopted, the format has lost its vendor-specific name and other Microsoft proprietary controls to ensure universal compatibility. The new format will hence be known as JPEG XR whereby XR stands for eXtended Range.

Microsoft believes that wide-spread use of this file format could begin in about a year.

Key features include:

* wider colour palette
* finer gradations
* in-camera imaging processing support
* faster burst-mode photography
* better compression
* supported by Windows Vista
* support has been pledged by Adobe (a plug-in for Photoshop is already available)
Can we get support for this? When I flame someone with an image, I'd like to have a wider "colour" palette available. Better compression can't hurt for those that have to take heart meds if an image file is over 10kb!

----

New format looks good. Hope it catches on quickly.

Wouldn't that be rendered in the browser, not by the board?

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

probably, I'm just being difficult. I've never seen a JPEG XR

Would the /img command work for them?

I recall a time when png files wouldn't display.

You know what would really be fucking awesome? Embedded YouTube support.

You heard it here first!

We already can embed YouTube videos! People just get upset over seeing a blank white box if they have flash turned off in the user control panel as they should if flash is an issue at work.

Damn those people what is wrong with them? We should have a thread to discuss this. It's an outrage!

There needn't be a board mod for it.. the img tag will do just fine, whether or not the browser can display it is the issue.

I think people are trying to say that you're posting on the wrong board.
