Do you have a general stance about it?

Once every couple of months I look into the state of both projects and it’s slow but steadily progressing.

I am mainly looking into it because of the file compression. My tests showed that I can save up to 70% in disk space for a jpg image without losing too much information for both formats, avif and jxl. It depends on the images but in general it’s astonishing and I wonder why I still save jpgs in 100% quality.

But, I could also just save or convert my whole library to 70% jpg compression. Any advice?

    With a 70% quality jpg, you lose the ability to crop, edit or blow up your images. It basically limits you to looking at them on a screen.

    I don’t understand what you mean! 🧐

    If I have a 70% quality jpeg, I can open it in Gimp and crop, edit or blow up (a bit) the image.
