Linear Color Analysis of Modern Image Formats

It has been a standard for a long time that web image should have delivered in sRGB color profile. This was chosen mainly for compatibility reasons, because most of the browsers back then didn't have a proper color management, therefore color profiles were ignored and can be incorrectly rendered -- as without a color profile (aka. untagged) any image will be considered as sRGB. This was not a concern since most of the consumer displays at that time are barely even have full coverage of sRGB gamut.

I remebered during my college days when I still have a side job to calibrate monitors (that was way back in 2012-ish, when Spyder 4 was released), most of my customers' screen only have around 70% sRGB coverage, I even found some that went as low as 60%! Ouch! Wide gamut, or even a full sRGB coverage monitors were pipedream to most of us, we can only see them in big studios and production houses.

Anyway, I digress with my personal story.

And thus, since the advent of wide gamut displays and HDR these days, color management in browsers became an important aspect. We are no longer bounded by sRGB profile, many new wide-gamut profiles are emerged that can accomodate this shiny new display (pun intended), such as DisplayP3 and Rec.2020 profiles. Therefore, now major browsers have a proper color management to properly view those images, also to pave the road for HDR viewing support.

Well, actually in photography section we already got used to work with wide-gamut profiles such as Adobe RGB and ProPhoto RGB for a pretty long time too.

Krita 5.2 JPEG XL Export Tips

Intro

With the release of version 5.2, Krita brings a lot of JPEG XL improvement! However with added knobs and switches here and there, it can be pretty confusing for a standard user... x3

Here I'll try to give some tips to use it efficiently!

JPEG XL?

JPEG XL (or JXL for short) is a relatively new image standard by the JPEG committee (yes, the old JPEG that we all familiar with!). It's aimed to be a long-term replacement for web image delivery formats like the old JPEG and PNG. It also have basic animation function like GIF and APNG, and can have a basic layering function as well! Better compression ratio, HDR support, animation support, and up to 32-bit depth support is just a few of their enticing features for me! I myself beginning to phase out PNG for my workflow in digital painting in favor of JXL, especially for lossless storage.. Moreover on HDR pics, no more TIFF for storing simple images!
