I would like to see JPEG-XL succeed. However, Google and Firefox have removed JPEG-XL support already so it will be very interesting to see what impact Apple's support will have. In the meantime, I'm using WEBP for my projects.
Firefox has jxl support in testing on beta builds. You need to flip the jxl flag in about:config.
JPEG-XL support is being tested in firefox nightly
I saw a av1 picture in the wild.
That was interesting experience as I assumed that's only a video file codec.
I just converted all my images to avif for storage lmao
using avifs to keep my website below 5kb lmao
It's my first time hearing about JPEG-XL. What's the file format name? '*.jpeg-xl'?
Can I create it with Adobe Photoshop?
I can only answer the first part: .jxl
No clue about photoshop, but you can in GIMP, for whatever that is worth lol
No layer support? Or can that be faked by using 4 channel-chunks?
Probably easier to fake with frames of animation, but JXL is not a replacement for .PSD or .XCF files and I do not know what usecase layers would be for besides authoring
In my company’s product, we allow users to place images into a composition and alter the colors (like tinting/colorize in Photoshop, so only globally). When doing that, the outline of the drawn image should not change color, and also there might be multiple color areas (think an image of a house where the walls have a separate color from the chimneys).
To do separate full-image manipulation, we need multiple layers. Right now they’re just a tilemap with the layers next to each other, but that doesn’t work for repeating patterns.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
