XnView Software

Nice job!!!
I am trying to convert a 16bit tiff to jpegli, and I got the warning "The picture will be converted to RGB with 8bits per component", is it possible to convert it to 10bit or above?
Thank you very much!

no only 8bits

I'm surprised that there is next to no apparent color smearing with the XYB output, which by default has chroma subsampling. I picked the nastiest blue and red combination I could find, and I only saw a faint white glow. I wouldn't use this format because it relies on ICC to fix up the colors afterwards. This requires a recent version of an ICC engine. Old software like Photoshop CS2 or old FastStone show wrong colors. When it works, ICC (any) is sometimes an order of magitude slower to load. Irfan is very slow.

The benefit of this encoder is supposedly extra bit depth because it does intermediate calculations at a higher precision. So it an encode artifical gradients better. However, I don't see it. A 16-bit input gradient has significant banding. The cjpegli.exe doesn't seem to apply any dithering (jpeg output is very small). Dithered 8-bit input has the same overall banding in cjpegLI, Irfan and Photoshop. So saving from 16-bit directly seems to be a bad idea.

They have an EXE encoder on Git, which can be used from an audio frontend. In only supports PNG and Linux PNM image formats for input. No BMP, TGA or EXR.

In cjpegli this is the "-p N" parameter N = 0..2.
When I added "-p 0" to cjpegli, the file grew to the size produced by XnView,

right, i'll update it

I'm looking forward to fixing this issue.
Pierre, can you release version 1.7.2 or beta?
Thank you.

Progressive work OK like in cjpegli.
XYB work OK like in cjpegli.

Having trouble finding a binary. Gone? Need Ubuntu binary for another project. Thx
