# gimp-jxr
GIMP plugin for reading and writing of JPEG XR image files. The plugin is also available on the [GIMP Plugin Registry](http://registry.gimp.org/node/25508).
GIMP plugin for reading and writing of JPEG XR image files.

[![license](https://img.shields.io/github/license/chausner/gimp-jxr.svg)](https://github.com/chausner/gimp-jxr/blob/master/LICENSE)

**NOTE:** Version 2.0 currently has a bug and writes non-standard files (that won't open in any other application) when the source image has an alpha channel. This will be fixed in a follow-up release.

Features
--------
Almost all pixel formats supported by JPEG XR can be loaded. Incompatible formats, however, will first be converted to a representation that GIMP understands (this means you'll loose HDR data, for example). All RGB pixel formats are converted to 24bpp RGB, all RGBA formats to 32bpp BGRA, and all grayscale formats to 8bpp Gray. Black-white images are imported as indexed images.

The plugin supports reading and writing of images with embedded color profiles and XMP metadata.

Installation
------------
The plugin is designed to run with GIMP version 2.8.x.

### Windows
Take the [pre-compiled binary](https://github.com/chausner/gimp-jxr/releases/latest) and put it into "%USERPROFILE%\\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins" (create the folder if it doesn't exist). Alternatively, run ```<GIMP installation dir>\bin\gimptool-2.0.exe --install-bin <path to plugin binary>```. You'll need a 32-bit installation of GIMP.
Take the [pre-compiled binary](https://github.com/chausner/gimp-jxr/releases/latest) and put it into "%USERPROFILE%\\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins" (create the folder if it doesn't exist). Make sure you are using the x64 version of the plugin if your GIMP installation is 64-bit, otherwise use the x86 version. If you get the error code 0xc000007b on GIMP startup, you are using the wrong version of the plugin.

### Ubuntu
1. Make sure GIMP 2.8.x is installed and you have all required development files:
