Files identified as JP2 are really JPX

h2. Description

Some software applications produce [JPX] (JPEG 2000 Part 2) files that are superficially indistinguishable from JP2. This applies, for example, to the Adobe JPEG 2000 plugin that comes with Adobe Photoshop (add version). In principle, JPX files can be distinguished from JP2 by the value of the _brand_ field in the File Type Box. For JP2 this is 'jp2 ' ({{0x6a70 3220}}). The specification of JPX ([JPX^15444-2annexm.pdf]) states that a value of 'jpx ' ({{0x6a70 7820}}) shall be used for "files that are completely defined by" JPEG 2000 Part 2. However, if applications ignore this, such JPX files can be easily mistaken for JP2s.

Files that contain features that are not permitted in JP2 will not pass validation by [Jpylyzer].

h3. Pre-ingest

Identify files that are affected by this problem using [Jpylyzer] and do not accept them.

h3. Existing collections

* Identify files that are affected by this problem using [Jpylyzer].
* Document the issue and the associated risks, and mark affected materials in metadata.
* Normalisation of affected files to 'proper' JP2s may be considered for important collections (but this would require careful planning and risk assessment).

h2. Example files
Both files created with Adobe Photoshop CS4 + Adobe JPEG2000 plugin 2.0. They both have JPX features, but will be identified as JP2 based on the Brand field:
