Compress the Capture Moments Images to a much smaller filesize. #50

We would need to use some sort of compression since the browser can't deal with 1MB> base64 images. There are some couple of sampling compression techniques on the web that we can research to implement it.

I see that you are using toDataURL with no parameters. That defaults to using PNG, which is a lossless format. We could use WebP internally and allow the user to save to PNG or whatever if they want.

Below is a blank canvas stored in webp and png(the default).

c.toDataURL("image/webp") "data:image/webp;base64,UklGRogAAABXRUJQVlA4IHwAAACSDQCdASosAZYAPk0ci0WD/IBAAJiWlu4XdhG0v3oE9EArty95Hzcboo3q+bjdFG9Xzcboo3q+bjdFG9Xzcboo3q+bjdFG9Xzcboo3q+bjdFG9Xzcboo3q+bjdFG9Xzcboo3q+bjdFG9Xzcboo3q+bjdFG9EAA/v/w+AAA"

Interesting, we should try that out then, that is a lot of data compressed.

mohamedmansour commented 12 years ago

I tried it out with WebP, it is now available for Stable so I just converted it all! 8da7b68db091aaaa514e6c8e4845d610437b9d0b
