Sounds good to me, I'll add it to my TODO list for the next iteration of the module. On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 1:57 PM, jeremy rosen wrote: > my guess is it's a badly worded > > "optimized for digital painting" > "optimized for photo" > "optimized for graph and schematics" > > but because portrai

my guess is it's a badly worded "optimized for digital painting" "optimized for photo" "optimized for graph and schematics" but because portraits and other photo with large surface compress better with the digital painting preset, there is this confusion.. frop a UI point of view here are a few

are there any docs about what this actually does? if we don't find out i would vote for removing the meaningless explanation altogether :) On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 12:00 PM, Dimitrios Psychogios < dpsychog...@gmail.com> wrote: > These come directly from encode.h ( > https://code.google.com/p/webm

yeah, this sounds like "what compression algorithm should we use" so we need to know a bit more about there different best/wrors case compression to give better advice to our audience. On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 10:54 AM, johannes hanika wrote: > right. sounds like overly simplified technical ter

right. sounds like overly simplified technical terms, probably written for a non-image processing audience somewhere in a webdesign doc.. i think these should be changed to something darktable folks would understand (wavelet compression? color quantization biased to support more shades of blue? the

Hi, There's a string in the WebP module that I find a bit confusing (taken from the generated sv.po): #: ../src/imageio/format/webp.c:281 msgid "" "image characteristics hint for the underlying encoder.\n" "picture : digital picture, like portrait, inner shot\n" "photo
