+ XDepth plugins for Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3 are now available free of charge for Windows and MacOS. XDepth Beta 1 for Adobe Photoshop allows High Dynamic Range image compression that is compatible with the widely-spread Jpeg format. XDepth is fully compatible with Jpeg files.In fact you will be able to open .xdp files in any application that supports Jpeg.You can also rename your .xdp files as .jpg and they will still open as HDR in Photoshop. With some synthetic HDR images the XDepth compressed file is 12 times smaller than its HD Photo counterpart and 173 times smaller than the uncompressed HDR image. HDR images are very difficult to compress. Other technologies drop much of the details in darker areas proportionally to the increased contrast.XDepth maintains the same perceived quality throughout the whole image, regardless of the contrast.XDepth offers a variable bit-depth throughout each HDR image thus providing extra precision only where it's required.
