Ultra HDR is a standard SDR JPEG + a gain map that allows the construction of an HDR version. Specifically it's an implementation of Adobe's Gain Map specification, with some extra (seemingly pointless) Google bits.

- mgraczyk 3y agoThanks, I was on the team that did Ultra HDR at Google so I was curious if it was being used here. Didn't see anything in the code though so that makes sense.
- donatzsky 3y agoSomething I've been wondering about with the Ultra HDR format, is why did you add the Google GContainer? As far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything that the MPF part doesn't already.
- mgraczyk 3y agoI didn't actually work on the format, just happened to be on the same team. My guess would be that it's related to compatibility with the places the format need to render (android, chrome, photos) or possibly necessary to preserve edit metadata.
