XDepth is an image and video compression solution created to satisfy the increasing demand for augmented precision and color depth in digital imaging. What's quite unique about XDepth isn't just its superior image quality but its full compatibility with the Jpeg format.
The first software implementation of XDepth supports Adobe Photoshop and allows compression of High Dynamic Range pictures.
XDepth is available for Photoshop CS2 and CS3, and runs under Tiger or Leopard.

Not impressed, judging by the gallery
Tue, 02/19/2008 - 07:10 — Jon (not verified)Not impressed judging by the gallery that is on the xdepth website. Photomatix seems like it works way better than that.
There is no practical use
Tue, 02/19/2008 - 08:36 — Duluoz (not verified)There is no practical use for this plug-in. Any image saved for web, regardless of weather or not it happens to have been created via HDR methods, will export with the same 8-bit JPEG compression. The means of acquiring the HDR photo are already present in CS2 and CS3 respectively. There is nothing complicated about it. As far as Photomatix is concerned, I am not impressed with the unrealistic and sloppy 'tonal mapping' it produces or it's poor ability to handle 'ghosting'.
Hmm
