P: JPEG XL support

Some of the features that caught my attention when reading about JPEG-XL were:

• Royalty-free
• Lossless transcode from "legacy" JPEG files
• Wide Gamut and HDR
• Multiple frames (Animation, pages, layers [don't have to match canvas dimensions])
• support for color spaces, transfer curves
• support for arbitrary channels/components (up to 4099)
  • CMYK, grayscale, RGB, alpha, thermal, depth, etc.
• parallelizable compression (so I would expect processors with more cores can handle the format for efficiently)

I have to wonder what they envisioned when they decided to allow up to 4099 channels...

Adding another vote for JPEG XL open/export support in Photoshop, and improved open/export in Bridge and Camera RAW.

It's frustrating that it's been supported on Apple platforms for over a year (introduced in Safari 17 last year for iOS and macOS) and the native support improved even further this year across iOS/macOS (e.g. you can now just open a .jxl file in Preview and Finder like any other image), but there's still no way to directly open or export a .jxl from Photoshop.  For a current web project we're working on, we have to output images from Photoshop as PNG and then have scripting to run them through a JPEG XL encoder.

Given its significant size and performance advantages over JPEG and the continued expansion of support by CDNs, online stores and other tools, having the ability to export a .jxl from Photoshop is a must.  It should work like the current JPEG export, allowing quality to be configured for lossy or lossless.

Bridge and Camera RAW's implementations are also incomplete and don't correctly decode/render some .jxl files (wrong tone mapping, etc).

think Apple is now using JPEG XL in the latest iPhone

Just a note, Apple has added native JPEG XL support to macOS Sequoia.

Any updates on this?

Camera RAW.

"Photoshop can Export it"

not seeing that option in Photoshop, where is it hidden?

Vips is working on integrating foreign jxl compression to TIFF containers. Having the option to losslessly compress legacy media and open it in photoshop would be a blessing. Lightroom can already view JXL and Photoshop can export it. I don't see why we cannot open JXL in PS

Unfortunately, that seems not so easy .... interop 

AVIF also finally has support across all browsers
AVIF image format | Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc

Now if only adobe would stop wasting time with features no one asked for. And add things people NEED to use OUTSIDE OF CAMERA RAW!

This is doubly frustrating cause not even affinity photo lets you save avif. All this annoyance for reasons I don't care about.

This and HDR support, and the program will be somewhat brought up to the modern age. Rather than be archaic.

A bunch of AI tools nice as they are does not make a program modern.
