Convert SRF to JXL

The SRF (Sony Raw File) is a RAW image file format used by Sony digital cameras, such as the DSC-F828 model, to store uncompressed, unaltered images captured by the camera's sensor. Introduced in January 2004, SRF files preserve high-quality image data, offering photographers greater flexibility in post-processing compared to compressed formats like JPEG. Over time, Sony developed subsequent formats like SR2 and ARW to enhance features and compression methods.

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.
