I want WebP to work, but when I use it on my website the colors are different than the original JPEG files. This is a problem because I'm a photographer and those subtle differences can make a photo feel flat and dead.
When the color management is better I'll return.

- onurtag 5y agoMy problem with webp is that lossy mode only supports 4:2:0 chroma subsampling which can make bright colors look worse in some situations. The sharp_yuv parameter helps but it can also introduce visible changes that did not exist beforehand.
