WebP near-lossless might be a worthwhile comparison #13

Closed kurtextrem closed 4 months ago

WebP near-lossless nearly got no attention since it was released many years ago. I understand that WebP has been removed because it doesn't support unsubsampled images, but I think near-lossless might be a good mix between lossy WebP and lossless WebP to throw into the experiment.

see e.g. here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39563650. near-lossless is probably 2-3x larger (in file size), but might have better compression (pixel perfect).
