Trellis Management Co. Ltd. announces XDepth - The compatible high-
depth image format.
XDepth is a revolutionary digital imaging technology bringing High-
Depth and High Dynamic Range features to the general public at no
cost.
Recent attempts to convey new technologies through new image formats
did not solved one of the key issues with today's digital imaging:
compatibility.
There are millions of applications supporting Jpeg natively on all
platforms while any new image format being introduced needs normally
to be supported by each and all existing applications in order to
become a de-facto standard.
On such terms XDepth is already a de-facto standard being fully
compatible with the Jpeg format while introducing High Dynamic Range
capabilities.
Through the dedicated website -
www.xdepth.com - Windows and Mac users
can download the "XDepth HDR" File Format Plug-in for Adobe(R)
Photoshop(R) free of charge.
With "XDepth HDR" it is now possible to compress High Dynamic Range
images at usual Jpeg compression rates while maintaining compatibility
with all existing applications.
XDepth HDR files in fact are readable by any web browser, photo
retouching software, image viewing and browsing application, and
generally by any software supporting Jpeg.
Website owners can provide real-time exposure control on HDR photos
within their web galleries using the "XDepth ActiveX Control" for
Internet Explorer, also available free of charge.
Future versions of XDepth will expand even further into High-Depth
digital imaging allowing for typical high precision uses while keeping
Jpeg compatibility.
