File extension WMP description:
HD Photo, also known as Windows Media Photo, is a new file format for continuous-tone still images that surpasses the limitations of existing image formats. HD Photo supports a wide range of features, including:
- Multiple color formats for display or print
- Fixed or floating point high dynamic range, wide gamut image encoding
- Lossless or high-quality lossy compression
- Extremely efficient decoding for multiple resolutions and sub-regions
- Minimal overhead for format conversion or transformations during decode
HD Photo delivers a lightweight, high performance algorithm with a small memory footprint that enables practical, in-device encoding and decoding. HD Photo delivers image quality that is comparable to JPEG-2000 and more than twice the quality of JPEG.
Windows Media Photo has been renamed as HD Photo. Both names refer to the same file format. Some Microsoft Windows products still refer to the HD Photo implementation as Windows Media Photo.

Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world's personal computer market.
