Convert JXL to HDR

The JPEG XL (JXL) file extension, is a next-generation image format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, combining Google's PIK and Cloudinary's FUIF formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, offering up to 60% better compression efficiency compared to traditional JPEG, while maintaining high image quality. Standardized in 2021, JPEG XL is designed for web delivery, professional photography, and digital printing, supporting ultra-high-resolution images, wide color gamuts, and advanced features like progressive decoding and multiple layers.

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and in the context of Radiance, it refers to a file format used for storing high-quality images. The Radiance HDR format was developed as part of the Radiance rendering system, which originated in the late 1980s at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Its primary use is in the field of computer graphics, where it captures a wider range of luminance levels compared to standard formats, enabling more realistic lighting effects. This format is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring precise light measurements and accurate visualizations, making it indispensable for professionals in fields such as architectural visualization and visual effects.
