Phase One IIQ
Intelligent Image Quality for high-end medium format photography.
IIQ (Intelligent Image Quality) is the proprietary raw image format developed by Phase One for their high-end medium format cameras. Known for storing massive amounts of data from sensors exceeding 100 megapixels, IIQ files are designed to preserve the utmost color fidelity and dynamic range, catering to professional commercial and landscape photographers.
IIQ files are essentially specialized TIFF containers. They come in two primary compression variants: - **IIQ L (Large)**: A comprehensive lossless format. It keeps 100% of the sensor data but results in very large files. - **IIQ S (Smart)**: An intelligent near-lossless compression. It reduces file size significantly (often by 30-50%) by discarding data that is mathematically redundant or invisible to the human eye, without degrading the editability of the raw file.
Phase One introduced IIQ alongside their digital backs to handle the enormous data throughput of medium format sensors. It evolved in tandem with their Capture One software, which is widely regarded as the industry standard for tethered shooting and raw color grading.
JPEG XL
The true next-generation successor designed to replace JPEG, PNG, and GIF entirely.
JPEG XL (JXL) is the most advanced image format currently in existence. Unlike WebP and AVIF, which are derived from video codecs, JPEG XL was designed from the ground up specifically for still images. This gives it unique superpowers, such as the ability to losslessly re-compress existing JPEG files to be 20% smaller without losing a single bit of data. It offers best-in-class lossless compression (beating PNG), best-in-class lossy compression (beating JPEG), and supports features needed for professional workflows like CMYK, layers, and ultra-high resolutions. However, its adoption has been slowed by political battles, most notably Google Chrome's decision to remove support in 2022, though Apple has since added full support in Safari 17.
JPEG XL uses a combination of two coding modes: VarDCT (Variable Block-size DCT) for lossy images and Modular Mode for lossless/artistic images. Its 'killer feature' is legacy JPEG transcoding: it can take the DCT coefficients from an old JPEG file and repackage them into the more efficient JXL container. This process is reversible, meaning you can convert your entire JPEG library to JXL to save 20% space, and convert them back to the exact original byte-for-byte JPEGs later if needed. It also supports 'progressive decoding' far better than any other format, allowing a high-quality preview to appear almost instantly.
The JPEG committee began the call for proposals for a next-gen standard in 2017. The final standard (ISO/IEC 18181) was published in 2021/2022, combining the best parts of Google's PIK and Cloudinary's FUIF proposals. Despite being technically superior, its rollout hit a wall when the Chrome team removed the experimental flag in late 2022, citing lack of ecosystem interest. However, Apple's adoption in 2023 (iOS 17/macOS 14) has breathed new life into the format.
