    memory containing a rendering application;

    wherein the rendering application configures the processor to;

    locate an encoded image within an image file, where the image file includes an encoded image, and metadata describing the encoded image, where the metadata comprises a depth map that specifies depths for pixels in the encoded image;

    decode the encoded image;

    locate the metadata within the image file; and

    post process the decoded image by modifying the pixels based on the depths indicated within the depth map to create a rendered image.
