I think in order to be used in image tech, it shouldn't be shipped as PNG, even with lossless compression. It should be BMP, ideally with the PBM, PGM and PPM formats too. Not sure how serious this is, though. :/

I think if you’re working in computer graphics you can work out how to convert a PNG.

  The point is you want a compression and artifact free benchmark image.

    That's what you'll get if you decompress the PNG…

    isnt png lossless? what compression artifact is being introduced?

PNG is mathmatically lossless, so, you can easily decompress it into whatever format you'd like, while benefitting from a smaller file size. That's the whole point.
