XDepth® is an image and video compression solution created to satisfy the increasing demand for augmented precision and color depth in digital imaging.
What's quite unique about XDepth isn't just its superior image quality but its full compatibility with the Jpeg format.
The first software implementation of XDepth supports Adobe® Photoshop® and allows compression of High Dynamic Range pictures.

Compatibility
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. Read more...
Compression Ratio
XDepth allows great quality and very small file-size.
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. Read more...
Quality
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. Read more...
Future
Future implementations of the XDepth technology will support 48bit/pixel images always maintaining full compatibility with Jpeg.
The 48bits/pixel technology also incorporates a very efficient built-in deblocking feature. Read more...
