DCS at a glance

DCS

Digital photography fragmented into many manufacturer-specific raw formats because camera makers optimized for their own sensors, metadata, and software ecosystems rather than for one shared public raw standard.

JXR at a glance

JXR

JPEG XR grew from Microsoft's HD Photo work and then moved through standards bodies, but it remained much more niche than formats such as JPEG, PNG, or later AVIF/WebP families.
