IIQ to XPS conversion is the process of transforming a Phase One IIQ raw image file into an XPS (XML Paper Specification) fixed-layout document or image-based XPS file. This converts high-bit-depth, camera-native raw data into a viewable, portable, and printable XPS format while preserving as much image detail as possible for sharing, archiving, or printing.

The IIQ file format typically uses MIME type image/x-raw and contains uncompressed or losslessly compressed raw sensor data. It is commonly used by professional photographers for post-processing flexibility. The XPS format uses MIME type application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument and is based on XML, often utilized for document distribution and archiving with support for embedded images and vector graphics.
The XPS (.XPS) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like IIQ.
While specific technical details aren't available here, XPS files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.

IIQ files are raw image files primarily used in high-end photography for preserving maximum image data. XPS files are fixed-layout documents designed for sharing and printing with consistent formatting. While IIQ focuses on raw image quality, XPS emphasizes portability and cross-device consistency.
Keep IIQ source files under 250 MB for smooth free conversions; use a premium or local tool for files up to 1 GB or larger.
To preserve color and dynamic range, export IIQ to a high-bit-depth image (TIFF/PNG) inside the XPS or use lossless embedding rather than JPEG compression.
For batch workflows, convert IIQ sequences to multi-page XPS or convert each frame to XPS in a single automated job; ensure consistent color profile settings across the batch.
If you plan to print from XPS, set output DPI to 300 or higher and convert to the printer color space (CMYK proofing externally) before finalizing.

Limitations: XPS is primarily a fixed-layout/document container and may not preserve raw sensor data or camera-specific metadata like all proprietary processing parameters; complex raw edits should be flattened to a high-quality image before embedding.
