> 10+ bits. Jpegli can be encoded with 10+ bits per component. Traditional JPEG coding solutions offer only 8 bit per component dynamics causing visible banding artifacts in slow gradients. Jpegli's 10+ bits coding happens in the original 8-bit formalism and the resulting images are fully interoperable with 8-bit viewers. 10+ bit dynamics are available as an API extension and application code changes are needed to benefit from it.
So, instead of supporting JPEG XL, this is the nonsense they come up with? Lock-in over a JPEG overlay?
- spider-mario 3y agoThis is from the same team as JPEG XL, and there is no lock-in or overlay. It’s just exploiting the existing mechanics better by not doing unnecessary truncation. The new APIs are only required because the existing APIs receive and return 8-bit buffers.
