Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

  I literally said it was easy to do.

    Let’s try this again: in a world where Apple is not a dick, what modern image format do they use that isn’t subject to these same codec requirements?

      What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms that doesn’t require a license?

      There, ftfy. You answer the question.

        I dunno, JPEG XT maybe? At a loss here.

        Why did Android also use HEIC, did they choose this just to be a dick like Apple?

  OpenEXR. Though it probably could use a spec upgrade, in particular add JPEG-XL to the list of compression algorithms. It’s not like OpenEXR’s choices are bad, the lossy ones are just more geared towards fidelity than space savings.

  Bonus: Supports multi-channel, so not just RGBA. Not terribly useful for your run off the mill camera, very useful in production where you might want to attach the depth buffer, cryptomatte etc and I guess you could also use it for the output of light field cameras. Oh there’s also multi-view so you can store not just stereo images but also whole all-around captures and stuff. There’s practically nothing pixel-related you can’t do with it though it might require custom tooling.
