• Before talking about improvements...
  What HD Photo really improves according to MSFT ?
  We've just seen one PSNR measurement, which in terms of the "perceived" image quality says NOTHING.
  The real supposed improvement in HD Photo is 48bit and High Dynamic Range support, which, in my own tests with their Photoshop plugin proved real poor.
  The only other comparison I found around is this one: www.trellis-mgmt.com ...which also shows pretty bad quality of HD Photo when dealing with High Dynamic Range.
  In the end, all these "claimed benefits", even versus common jpeg, are yet to be seen and proofs are yet to be evaluated by the people and corporations adopting image compression in general.
  So, dear MSFT...whatever...show the facts not the Decibels.

• Scarce HDR support
  Well, apparently HDR support in HD Photo came out quite poor.
  Have a look here: www.trellis-mgmt.com
  
  ...clearly there's something better around already...and it's Jpeg-compatible. In reply to: "Turf war between Microsoft's JPEG XR and Adobe's DNG?"
