Convert JPM to RAD

The JPM file extension stands for JPEG 2000 Compound Image File Format. It is used for storing multiple images and graphics, incorporating JPEG 2000 compression to achieve high-quality visuals with reduced file sizes. JPM files are particularly useful in scenarios that require efficient storage and handling of complex image data, such as digital archiving, medical imaging, and document management. Developed as part of the broader JPEG 2000 standard, the JPM format was introduced to enhance image quality and compression over its predecessor, JPEG. Its support for transparency, layers, and metadata makes it a versatile choice in professional IT and imaging applications.

The RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.
