- kevincox 4y agoPhotos generally won't get much compression anyways since the image data is already compressed. However in general yes, zstd is almost always preferable to gzip these days.
- antisthenes 4y agoFor archiving RAW files, yes. For RAW --> lossy format, storing them in JPEG-XL would be preferable, and I doubt most compression algos would do better than JPEG-XL.
