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.

There’s also value in not basing your image compression algorithm on a low resolution scan of a magazine from the 1970s.

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
