Summary: JPEG XL support
Product: digikam
Version: 7.2.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
JPEG XL is getting more traction right now. It is perfect for photo-related
operations:
- storing old photo archive, because one can losslessly convert old JPEG files
to a new format saving ~20% space.
- encoding newly-captured photo storage, because it has efficient lossy mode,
which is on par with webp2 format.
- replacing PNG for screenshots and other lossless images, because it has an
efficient lossless encoding.
The bitstream for this format is stable since December 2020, so we can
implement its support.
Also, there is a decoder library libjxl, that implements this format.
EXPECTED RESULT
- JPEG XL viewing, editing. Also, an option to convert the entire JPEG library
to JPEG XL format.
