Microsoft wants HD Photo to be an industry standard
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft is looking to get more of its technology certified as an industry standard and has submitted its HD Photo technology to the Joint Photographic Expert Group for a decision in that regard.
JPEG, a working group of the International Organization for Standardization, has decided to introduce a new work item for the standardization of Microsoft's HD Photo file format, tentatively titled "JPEG XR"; formal balloting of this work item is being submitted to the JPEG national delegations for approval.
