These are presets for lossless coding, similar to zlib.
The shortcut for lossless coding is now, e.g.:
cwebp -z 5 in.png -o out_lossless.webp
There are 10 possible values for -z parameter:
0 (fastest, lowest compression)
to 9 (slowest, best compression)
A reasonable tradeoff is -z 6, e.g.
-z 9 can be quite slow, so use with care.
This -z option is just a shortcut for some pre-defined
'-lossless -m xx -q yy' combinations.

original/compressed pictures were not converted to an adequate YUVA
colorspace before computing the distortion.
Change-Id: I37775e9b7dbd6eca16c38e235e1df325858d36a1
Earlier, all lossless images were assumed to contain alpha.
Now, we use the 'alpha_is_used' bit from the VP8L bitstream to determine
the
same.
Detecting an absence of alpha can sometimes lead to much more efficient
rendering, especially for animated images.
Related: refine mux code to read width/height/has_alpha information only
once
per frame/fragment. This avoid frequent calls to VP8(L)GetInfo().
Change-Id: I4e0eef4db7d94425396c7dff6ca5599d5bca8297
rather than symlink the webm/vpx terms, use the same header as libvpx to
reference in-tree files
based on the discussion in:
https://codereview.chromium.org/12771026/
Change-Id: Ia3067ecddefaa7ee01550136e00f7b3f086d4af4
new option: -blend_alpha 0xrrggbb
also: don't force picture.use_argb value for lossless. Instead,
delay the YUVA<->ARGB conversion till WebPEncode() is called.
This make the blending more accurate when source is ARGB
and lossy compression is used (YUVA).
This has an effect on cropping/rescaling. E.g. for PNG, these
are now done in ARGB colorspace instead of YUV when lossy compression
is used.
Change-Id: I18571f1b1179881737a8dbd23ad0aa8cddae3c6b
this would require a PRIuS or similar macro for proper platform
compatibility (Visual Studio for instance would be variants of %lu)

METADATA_ICCP was renamed to METADATA_ICC in

0bc4268 cwebp: output metadata statistics
Change-Id: Ie317208488cc851d5d21300591c91cebf5abd4a7
using token-buffer (that is: slightly more memory. O(output_size))
This change is ON by default. To return to previous behaviour, use
'cwebp -low_memory' or set config.low_memory to true.
Side-effect of this new mode: it forces 1 partition only (which was
default anyway), and makes some statistics about the bitstream
no longer available. cwebp will no longer report 'intra4-coeffs', etc.
This mode also doesn't work (yet) with multi-pass, and -low_memory
is currently forced for multi-pass.
also: reversed the flag: USE_TOKEN_BUFFER -> DISABLE_TOKEN_BUFFER
also: fixed the kAverageBytesPerMB estimate
Change-Id: I4ea80382038d6df4309663e0cb7bd88d9bca9cf1
new option: 'cwebp -mt ...'
new config flag: config.thread_level
(allowed thread_level are 0 or 1 for now. Maybe more later...)
If -mt is activated (and WEBP_USE_THREAD is used for compile), the alpha-compression
will be done in parallel to RGB coding for lossy. Can save quite a bit of latency...
Has no effect for lossless encoding.
Change-Id: I769d0bf90e7380cf99344ad62cd77277f4df5a46
This option remaps internal parameters to better match
the expected compression curve of JPEG and produce output files
of similar size, but with better quality.
Change-Id: I96a1cbb480b1f6a0c6845a23c33dfd63f197b689
This copies metadata selected by -metadata from the input to the output
if present.
Currently there is no WIC support for Windows builds.
Change-Id: I34fb2443729d80ffe3a6da0979d9f6fa9b3fe536
currently has no effect except to disable metadata extraction from the
input when the value is 'none'.
Change-Id: Ic50d4c9d634cc1f6b72ae4e130e99736c85a6477
* change some (*func_ptr) construct to func_ptr simply.
* remove one memcpy
* group #include related to decoding together
Change-Id: If751cfbd9e78be75c57fb60fc9c937900c2c8fe0
unused currently, but the intent is to allow each format to populate
exif/xmp/icc with cwebp then transferring it to the webp file.
Change-Id: I0514f62de52fa7f89c595ee7ef2ad7dced910a41
Query the converter to ensure the format is supported; add BGR formats
as RGBA was failing for PNG on XP
Fixes issue 129
Change-Id: I02e0d74b3b21337bc5fffd6a5dc158b7809b9aa9
LSIM stands for "local similarity": before matching
a compressed pixel to the source, we search around in the source
and minimise the squared error. So, this is close to PSNR calculation,
but mitigates some of its limitations (pure translation and noise for instance).
There's a new -print_lsim option to cwebp too.
Change-Id: Ia38561034c7a90e71d2ea0f55bb1de527eda245b
correct has_alpha check; previously it was controlled by keep_alpha,
which overrode the source format check.
fixes issue #127
Change-Id: I949be90419b03610c64900be0fd37f83b70cbe73
spurious in this case, but addresses e.g.,
... potentially uninitialized local variable 'weighted_average' used
Change-Id: Ib99998bf49e4af7a82ee66f13fb850ca5b17dc71
For low-color images, it may be better to not use color-palettes.
Users should treat this as one another hint (as with Photo &
Picture) and another parameter for tuning the compression density.
The optimum compression can still be obtained by running (outer loop)
compression with all possible tunable parameters.
Change-Id: Icb1a4face2a84774e16e801aee4a8ae97e232e8a
{Picture,Config}Init don't do allocations and attempting to free any of
their contents on version mismatch will likely cause a crash
Change-Id: I2a5aece235f9680fb406aec4799adceea7f62cfc
also relocate user_data from WebPAuxStats to the WebPPicture struct to
make clearing easier while placing it closer to the progress hook with
which it's used.
prior to this change some spurious lossless data could be reported in
the lossy (sans alpha) encoding case. additionally user_data could be
lost during lossless encoding.
Change-Id: I929fae3dfde4d445ff81bbaad51445ea586dd80b
* Extend AuxStats with new fields
it's slightly ABI-incompatible, but i guess it's ok for 0.1.99+
I expect to add more stats later, possibly (predictor stats, etc.)
* Have cwebp report the features used by lossless
compression (either for alpha or full lossless coding)
* Print the PSNR for alpha (useful in case of -alpha_q)
* clean-up alpha.c signatures
+ misc cleanup (added const '* const ptr', etc.)
Change-Id: I157a21581f1793cb0c6cc0882e7b0a2dde68a970
* add a real proper pointer for holding memory chunk pointer
(instead of using y and argb fields)
* polish the doc with details
* add a WebPPictureView() that extract a view from a picture
without any copy (kind of a fast-crop).
* properly snap the top-left corner for Crop/View. Previously,
the luma position was not snapped, and was off compared to the chroma.
Change-Id: I8a3620c7f5fc6f7d1f8dd89d9da167c91e237439
Since
437999f introduce a generic WebPPictureHasTransparency() function
lossy encodes will not encode alpha if the alpha channel is completely
opaque.
Change-Id: I1826669c3932483650d7f8ce806cfebd4e5225fc
VP8-lossy will now avoid writing an ALPH chunk if the
alpha values are trivial.
+ changed DumpPicture() accordingly in cwebp
+ prevented the -d option to be active with lossless
(DumpPicture wouldn't work).
Change-Id: I34fdb108a2b6207e93fa6cd00b1d2509a8e1dc4b
Fixes issue #115.
Define local copies of GUID_WICPixelFormat24bppRGB &
GUID_WICPixelFormat32bppRGBA (and GUID_WICPixelFormat32bppBGRA for
symmetry) to avoid link issues when building against older versions of
the SDK.

These will report the 7x7-averaged PSNR or SSIM, using the
new internal function WebPPictureDistortion().
This is for information only. These flags have no encoding impact.

to 'clean up' the fully-transparent area and make it more compressible
new cwebp flags: -alpha_cleanup (off by default, since gain is not 100% guaranteed)
Change-Id: I74d77e1915eee146584cd61c9c1132a41db922eb
.. where only 2 filtering modes are potentially
tried, instead of all of them. This is fast than the exhaustive 'best'
mode, and not much worse.
Options for cwebp are:
-alpha_filter none
-alpha_filter fast (<- default)
-alpha_filter best (<- slow)
Change-Id: I8cb90ee11b8f981811e013ea4ad5bf72ba3ea7d4
Add predictive filtering option for Alpha plane.
Valid range for filter option is [0, 5] corresponding to prediction
methods none, horizontal, vertical, gradient & paeth filter.
The prediction method 5 will try all the prediction methods (0 to 4)
and pick the prediction method that gives best compression.
Change-Id: I9244d4a9c5017501a9696c7cec5045f04c16d49b

Gathers all DSP-related function (and SSE2 implementations).
Clean-up some unwanted symbolic dependencies so that webp_encode,
webp_decode and webp_dsp are truly independent libraries.
+ opportunistic clean-up:
* remove unneeded VP8DspInitTables(), now integrated in VP8DspInit()
* make consistent use of VP8GetCPUInfo() in the various DspInit() funcs
* change OUT macro to DST
Although it degrades quality, this option is useful to avoid the 512k
limit for partition #0.
If not enough to reach the lower bound of 4bits per macroblock header,
one should also limit the number of segments used (down to -segments 1)
See the man file for extra details.
