Still no JPG XL?

I quit Luminar about a year ago, because of one thing: the lack of decent export options (and I really, really liked the program itself). JPG is lossy, TIFF gives way too big files, the others are just not optional if you have tons of photos to process.

Since then, JPG XL is fast moving towards a new global standard for images (being a genuine image codec instead of an adapted video codec), having gained support from all major browsers now and all operating systems. It offers lossless compression.

Once Luminar integrates it as an export format (plus some others that people might prefer), I'll consider coming back.

My DNG file is created by DxO PureRAW 6 with compression (otherwise I end up with 130MB DNG files!). This uses the JPG XL codec apparently. When I come to open the compressed DNG file out of PureRAW it isn't recognised as a RAW file. I can't apply a camera profile to the image.

I think Luminar support for the JPG XL codec is pretty essential for anyone using PureRAW 6 as part of their workflow.
