    There’s a value to having a standard image or images that are used to assess compression algorithms’ performance. It could just as easily be a picture of a bouquet of flowers, or a bunch of puppies.

        Seems like this is a much more important than any of the other discussions going on. How many results were tainted by the fact that they were compressing a dithered print image.

        Yeah, there is, so do not do that and let others do that if they want.

        Everybody can use whichever pictures they like as far as I am concerned.

        FFS, it’s as if there could be only one way for everyone

          Not really, it’s a shared data set to make sure colours appear at uniform levels across different media and types of software in order to maintain stable image formats that can be sent over internet protocols…

          …the whole point is to have a catalogue of standard test images to compare transfer and compression results to globally.
