This page makes no sense: e.g. proposing (uncompressed) jpeg over png for screenshots without any explanation why (note that even uncompressed jpeg doesn't necessarily store the exact original rgb color values but is likely ok for 8-bit rgb). Calls png "forbidden" but lists a bunch of other formats (without listing an actually good one like jpeg xl) as a valid replacement without saying what those (like webp which in its lossy version cannot even encode color at full resolution) formats do that png doesn't.
Complains something about alpha channels but doesn't explain what (and the mentioned jpeg has no alpha support)
PNG supports 16 bit per channel and ICC color profiles so can do HDR.
- Retr0id 3y agoPNG can display HDR, but the lack of floating-point support does put it at a disadvantage as an intermediate format (there's a demo about half way down the page comparing 16-bit PNG against fp16 EXR, during exposure adjustment)
