JPEG 2000 VM Uncompressed
A single-component test format for JPEG 2000 verification.
PGX is an extremely simple, uncompressed raster format created specifically for the development and testing of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO 15444). It is defined in the JPEG 2000 Verification Model (VM). Its purpose is to store a single component (channel) of an image with potentially high bit depth and signed/unsigned values, without the complexity of a full image container.
A PGX file represents one image channel (grayscale). It starts with a minimalist text header identifying the endianness (`LMS` or `Big`), the sign (`+`/`-`), the bit depth, and dimensions. The raw pixel data follows immediately. It is effectively a raw dump of a single image plane.
Developed by the JPEG committee during the creation of JPEG 2000. It allowed researchers to test wavelet compression algorithms on raw data without worrying about file headers or color transforms.
PNG-64 (64-bit RGBA)
The ultimate format for transparency precision in VFX and compositing.
PNG-64 is the heavyweight champion of the PNG family. It combines the 16-bit per channel color depth of PNG-48 with a 16-bit alpha channel. This provides 65,536 levels of transparency, compared to just 256 levels in a standard PNG-32. This format is almost exclusively used in high-end visual effects (VFX), 3D rendering, and professional compositing. When you are rendering a CGI character to place into a movie scene, you need the edges to blend perfectly with the background, even after heavy color grading. PNG-64's 16-bit alpha channel ensures that semi-transparent pixels (like motion blur or hair) retain enough data to be manipulated without becoming jagged or discolored.
A PNG-64 file contains four channels: Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha. Each is 16 bits deep (16 x 4 = 64 bits). The 16-bit alpha channel is the defining feature. In an 8-bit alpha channel (PNG-32), a very faint shadow might only have 3 or 4 levels of transparency steps, leading to visible banding when contrast is increased. In a 16-bit alpha channel, that same faint shadow has hundreds of steps, ensuring it remains smooth under any processing.
Like PNG-48, PNG-64 has been part of the standard since the beginning but was largely ignored by the web community due to file size. It found its niche in the 3D and video production industries as a more accessible alternative to formats like EXR or TIFF for storing intermediate render passes.
