The bitmap is set to default (96) DPI and premultiplied alpha.

When loading a JpegXR format bitmap that contains high dynamic range (HDR) pixel data, the loaded bitmap may use one of the pixel formats:

  • DirectXPixelFormat.R16G16B16A16Float
  • DirectXPixelFormat.R32G32B32A32Float
  • DirectXPixelFormat.R16G16B16A16UIntNormalized

For all other file formats, or when the current device does not support high dynamic range pixel formats (as reported by IsPixelFormatSupported(DirectXPixelFormat)), the loaded bitmap will use DirectXPixelFormat.B8G8R8A8UIntNormalized.
