Following the recent announcement of standardization of HD Photo by the JPEG group as JPEG XR, I have investigated implementation of this format as a VLIV plugin.
My code uses the COM API called Windows Imaging Component, available in Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. In theory, any image codec supported by WIC should be accessible by VLIV now, but I have only tested HD Photo images.
The API supports tile loading, even if the native format does not support it.
Microsoft also has a porting kit for non-Windows platforms.
As always, please contact me for plugin code sample, it consists of very few lines of C++.
