Wolfgang Gruener of TG Daily informs us:

(A test between HD photo and the JPEG has been in affect for a while now…)

” These results clearly suggest that HD Photo’s time may not have come yet. As long as JPEG is simply good enough for the mainstream, there is little incentive to switch from JPEG to HD Photo. However, enthusiasts and professional users can already see what the future may bring and save a boatload of room by using the format. Even in times of Terabyte hard drives, image size matters, especially if we are talking about a difference between 75 MB and 25 MB.

We will be spending more time with the format and present updated test results as soon as they are available. We invite you to let us know about your findings as well: Send us an email through the contact form or simply add your comment at the bottom of this article. HD Photo is available as a free download for Adobe Photoshop CS2/CS3 from Microsoft’s website.”

Only time, the market, audiences, techonology and $ will tell whether or not the HD photo will outshine the JPEG.
