Well, as JPEGs? Why not? Quality is just fine if you don't touch the quality slider in Photoshop or other software.
For "more" there's still lossless camera RAW formats and large image formats like PSD and whatnot.
JPEG is just fine.
- afiori 1y agoI wonder how much of JPEG good quality is that we are quite accustomed to its artefacts.
- BugsJustFindMe 1y agoAt high quality, the artifacts are not visible unless you take a magnifying glass to the pixels, which is a practice anathema to enjoying the photo.
- afiori 1y agoI am referring to highly compressed images or low resolution ones, at high bitrates mostly all formats look the same. what i mean is that jpeg squarish artifacts look ok while av1 angular artifacts look distorted
- whaleofatw2022 1y agoThere's something to be said about this. A high quality JPEG after cleanup can sometimes be larger than an ARW (sony RAW) on export and it makes no sense to me.
- Arainach 1y agoI've never seen JPEG artifacts on images modified/saved 5 or fewer times. Viewing on a monitor including at 100%, printing photos, whatever - in practice the artifacts don't matter.
- somat 1y agojpeg artifacts mainly show up on drawings. where they seriously degrade masking operations. which is a hobby of mine. so I always appreciate it when a drawing is a png. rather than a bunch of jpeg goop.
- a-french-anon 1y agoFor non-photographic images, I'm horribly sensible to the ringing artifacts. Thankfully, there's waifu2x (in denoise mode only) to remove those when textures don't confuse it too much and I use MozJPEG to encode, which really improves the result.
- mrob 1y agoJPEG artifacts are less disturbing because they're so obviously artificial. WEBP and similar artifacts look more natural, which makes them harder to ignore.
- afiori 1y agoI think I agree, low quality JPEGs give the idea of looking through slightly imperfect glass, WEBP and AV1 look a bit more like bad AI
