Hello, I would like if JPEG XL support was added into Photoshop. It would allow me to use single format for lossy and lossless photos.

Thanks.

I suspect that JPEG XL *compression* will be used (its already available in Photoshop) but the *format* is already DOA.

AVIF and HEIC are better choices. As for archiving, use TIFF or PSD.

Seems a bit silly to not only support this, but actually use this format in Lightroom and ACR and yet still not be able to open or save in Photoshop. JPEG XL looks like the perfect back-up format for edited photos, alongside the RAW+XMP.

People need to force these browsers hand to just pick a damn format.

Gonna revive the thread and pitch in my two cents here. I also very much support the implementation of the JPEG XL (.jxl) image file format in Adobe products.

 

After some research, I understand that JPEG XL has the benefits of a more efficent compression standard as well as better image quality when preserving the details. Having a smaller file size while also having better image quality on export means that images using JPEG XL will not only be much better looking, but will also be easier to store as well as display to audiences and consumers.

 

I also support the inclusion of the AVIF image file format as well since they both perform similarly. However, see that there is some form of contention between JPEG XL and Google that they would rather prefer AVIF over JPEG XL. I do hope there can be some settlement there.

 

I feel if Adobe were to enable support for the JPEG XL (.jxl) file format, then it may open up further opportunities and help influence other companies and brands to support it as well. This helps the artists in preserving the quality of their work, as well as the audiences in appreciating the artwork in all of its detail.

 

Overall, I highly recommend Adobe to enable support for JPEG XL. It would be wonderful for us to be able to play around with this format and promote higher quality work.

Apple recently fully embraced jpeg xl by, among other things, adding support to Safari. Now more than ever is the time to add support for exporting jpeg xl's

After several proofs with my Designer Team, we have decided to store full image resolution with transparency with JPG-XL, it doesn't matter if Adobe does not support it, we have plenty of alternatives to get any kind of size and format from it.

 

However it would be a great  improvement if PSD are by default compressed in JPEG-XL, if the latter is integrated in all the Adobe Products, for what is my concern inDesign and Illustrator, but it is good for the web as well.

 

Here my test:

 

JPEG-XL is the smaller format while still preserves losseless high quality pixels and transparency. It outperforms JPG "HQ" which is our alternative to the venerable format to PSD. WEBP also outperforms JPEG, but the format is limited in many ways, also it can be shutdown by its own creator anytime soon, it is really an unreliable technology on what I won't bet all.

 

We can leverage the right technology if we can make our voice loud. There is not any need to please another company, perhaps a partner, against the good and the will of its own users and customers.

 

Please do the right thing!

JPEG-XL is lossy, not an alternative to PSD... under no circumstances should you use it as your image repository for re-editing...

Yes please it is an exception improvement and a reliable solution, add quickly the support for JPEG-XL for all your products! Especially InDesign and Illustrator.

Do not let or allow that other companies decide what it is good for your customers and pro users.

 

Put the needs of your customers first!

 

Thanks!

 

p.s. the good old Gimp already supports JPEG-XL...
