FUCK. OFF.
Websites that try to force #webp conversions of other, vastly more compatible image formats, please just fucking stop.

I am wholeheartedly against consuming media storage.
#LossyPNG and #WebP all the things. No animated GIF or video. Use words ya hosers. ;)
(WebP only until #GtS decides to support #AVIF, which it seriously needs to do)
Truth. The same will probably happen with .avif
#AVIF > #WebP > APNG/PNG > GIF, JPEG

Need a quick way to convert WebP images to PNG? 🖼️
Try WebP to PNG Hero – fast, free, no installs, no watermarks.
Perfect for devs, designers & anyone in between.

I've always disliked the limited #watermarking features in #LightroomClassic. I now use #Darktable, which offers a better watermark tool and supports #webp exports—both important features to me. However, for watermarking screenshots or diagrams for my blog, I turn to the #CLI tool #ImageMagick. 1/2
I had a moment of inspiration and created #ggg take a look (still #experimental #foss software)
ggg: #guile #scheme #glyph #generator
https://codeberg.org/jjba23/ggg
Through #svg generation from #lisp we leverage a (wip) #dsl and apply some #math knowledge to build pixel perfect project #markdown / #org badges.
It also scripts #imagemagick to export to #png or #webp .
You can then use the svgs in your #codeberg (or #github) repository #readme for example.
I provide a #guix manifest in the repo
#WebP の対応ってそんな要るか? 自分で作った画像をアップロードしたいのであれば、(JPEG, GIF, PNGの御三家を覗くと) #SVG や #HEIF のサポートが必要なのでは? https://misskey.niri.la/notes/a7qss5xn62
Just FYI, nsxiv, imv, and swayimg all support AVIF as well, although imv did oddly have a glitch with one of the images I tested it with. I'd never seen that happen before.
According to some people I've spoken with, JPEG is still king for high-fidelity images and minimizing loss upon re-compression, but AVIF just totally whips the llama's posterior when it comes to relatively high fidelity at crazy low file sizes (high compression).
AVIF is often noticeably better quality than #WebP at the same (low) file size and resolution, and parsecs beyond what JPEG can do with high compression factors.
If only the fediverse supported it!!! :(
We barely have WebP support (mostly on #GtS, maybe #snac (haven't tried it)), not on #Mastodon.

For today's #DailyDoodle, I traced and sketched the cover art for the #PhilipGlass album #GlassWorks while listening to the first track on repeat.
It's always been a favorite of mine, and I love how ordered his music is. I think you either love his stuff or utterly hate it, either completely enjoy listening to it, or NOPE right out of it after about a minute.
Here is the track, via invidious: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=_2vRbNehGB0
I traced the basic outline of the image via the line tool (rather, the line mode of the pen tool) in #Xournal++, and then freestyled the shading with the album art to the side, rather than traced.
For tracing, I just put the Xournal++ window above the swayimg window, and made it mostly transparent.
I think I will start using this account for my daily doodles, as it'd be nice to have them gathered together in a separate space from my usual account (@(@rl_dane@polymaths.social), and I don't take that many photos, anyway.
It's very interesting how much #entropy there is in hand-drawn sketches. Even when I was trying to save space by converting the image to monochrome (which I didn't do with this one), the file sizes for the sketches were still pretty large, and even attempting to convert to #JPEG or #WebP didn't save much space over the monochrome PNG unless I really cranked down the compression factor and turned it into a blurry mess.
It's also fascinating that the compressed XML source for the image is about the same size as the PNG. ^__^ (204KiB vs 158KiB)

А вот пример, где WEBP откровенно фейлит, размывая текстуры, в то время как JPEG со всеми его артефактами смотрится более детализованно.
Hey,
if you've already committed to #WebP-only image output in your #TYPO3 #v13 project and you're looking for a quick way to enforce it across the board – here's a minimal #EventListener that does exactly that:
👉 https://gist.github.com/ErHaWeb/e201035096fa626204278cd3b87c3f89
No config, no extras. Drop it in – done.
I love it when people ask. XD
I am:
- Deeply nostalgic about the 16-bit era of computing and its graphic limitations
- Deeply concerned that I use as little of my instance admin's (admittedly ample) data storage as possible
So, I almost never post videos, and when I post pictures, I either post as very compressed #WebP (not my favorite image format, but it's the best format for low-fidelity/high-compression images that #GoToSocial supports), or "lossy"-compressed PNGs.
I have a utility on my phone (Image Toolbox) that can reduce PNG files by reducing the number of colors, but it's not great at picking the colors.
When I have the time and presence of mind to do so, I will take the PNG into GIMP and either use its conversion function to reduce the number of colors (to something like 32 or maybe 64, possibly as low as 4 or 8), or (like in the above case) I'll actually hand-select the important colors in the image and tell GIMP to reduce the image to just those colors.
In this case, the original screenshot PNG was 83KiB, which I managed to bring down to 16KiB through the manual color reduction process (down to just 6 colors).
If you peruse the #LossyPNG hashtag, there are plenty of examples. Some are obviously reduced (and are reminiscent of graphics on 16 bit machines like the #Amiga or #AtariST), but some look quite good for how severely reduced they were.
