CNET News.com reports that Microsoft will submit HD Photo to a standards organization.
Why's that a big deal?
1. Because HD Photo provides good image compression and supports high bit-depth color at the same time.
2. Because putting your data into a format that is interoperable, and which therefore doesn't lock in your data, is a GoodThing.
For more information on HD Photo see Bill Crow's blog.
This is a personal blog for me, aiddy.
Stuff posted here represents my opinion on things mainly photo-related.
I might have opinions on other subjects, and increasingly you might see them making a guest appearance or two here.
Until recently I was the CTO of Global Graphics, now I'm working for Microsoft.
Previously I've worked for Fujifilm and the University of Westminster.
What you see here is my personal opinion and not theirs; but you should be aware that those companies / institutions
have, at some time or another, helped keep me and the family dry, warm and fed.
Hopefully that puts you in the picture.
