DarkClown Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Since there has been a lot discussion around export formats I'd like to bring up a new aspect. WebP is undestandably quite looked after - and as well understandably a questionable export format. Nevertheles web export formats are for many users essential. Seeing the proprietary format of WebP with a lot of license dependencies an insecurities the newly announced JPEG XL format seems to be the way to go (despite the fact that it's not finally there). Seeing the features of JPEG XL e.g. 16bit support, transparency support, lossless or compressed, higher compression at same visual quality etc. it would be more than exciting to get that format implemented asap in the Affinity product range. Seeing that the new format already comes with an open-source library under Apache 2 license implementation hurdles should be low. I'd be very happy to see Affinity moving in this direction.

Pšenda Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm quite curious myself, but since the format is not even fully standardized yet, and its support/use is also quite minimal, I would not expect any extra fast activity from Serif.

DarkClown Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 The file format (bitstream) was frozen on December 25, 2020, meaning that the format is now guaranteed to be decodable by future releases.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL Quote i7-12700KF, 3.60 GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet, Windows 11 Pro - AP, AD and APublisher V1 and V2https://www.timobierbaum.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenman Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Quote Seeing the features of JPEG XL e.g. 16bit support, 24bit integer and 32bit floating point. Libjxl is a BSD-3 license (permissive free) Sad affinity doesn't have it already. Browsers already have support via a flag turn on/off. First time I think I've ever seen browsers adopt stuff before any editing/viewing software.. Also by far the fastest codec of anything to ever be supported.

ATP Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Programs like Affinity Photo should implement this soon, a format will never become the new standard if everyone waits for it to become big enough. Nothing happens if no one wants to be the first mover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
