Gianni RosatoHEIC & its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

Because it's patent-encumbered?
@RL_Dane
Among other things, yes.
Among other things, yes.
I'd be curious to know the other things 😁
I've started using WebP where possible.
I wish my phone would snap pictures in that format directly.
JPEG is starting to get AARP flyers in the mail. 😂
@RL_Dane
WebP is often worse than JPEG, especially for photographic images. It is better at low fidelity, about even at medium, & worse at high fidelity. It is decent with non-photographic images, though. This surprised me initially, as it goes against the whole purpose of WebP.
Lossless WebP, on the other hand, is fantastic. There hasn't been a better lossless format until lossless JXL.
@RL_Dane I wrote a piece on JXL vs AVIF, u can check it out here: https://giannirosato.com/blog/post/image-comparison/
HEIC isn’t included in the testing because for all intents & purposes it will most likely just be a worse AVIF, considering it is based on h265 & AVIF is based on AV1. WebP (lossy) is based on VP8.
