egg - xara is uncompressing the webp into the gallery and like acorn said it has always uncompressed images; it does that for png and jpeg; it does it so you are editing an uncompressed file, that surely is how it should be....

not seeing this egg - maybe I am misunderstanding, but just tried this and the bitmap gallery shows the uncompressed size, as it does with the webp; and like I said in previous post its as it should be, I would not want edits to be made on the compressed version
as far as better converted to jpg; maybe xara is not yet convinced webp has replaced them...? I have it switched out anyway
Not on my machine. If I import a jpg the Bitmap Gallery reports it as such.Quote:
... it has always uncompressed images; it does that for png and jpeg;
It doesn't do this for .png's which it reports as a Standard Bitmap.
The same is true for imported webp images. Standard Bitmap.
So I have two questions
1: Why are .png & .webp images not imported as such? .jpg's are.
2: Why is Xara recommending converting smaller .webp images to .jpg?
From the help menu:
Which with the inclusion of webp is no longer normally valid?Quote:
Automatic conversion to JPEG
The JPEG image format is usually the best choice for photo images, because it maintains high quality with smaller file sizes. So when you import non-JPEG photo files, Xara Designer Pro+ will examine the image to see if it would be more appropriate as a JPEG. If so, a prompt is shown giving you the option to convert it to JPEG on import. This reduces the size of your document files and reduces memory usage when editing.
I didn't say anything about it's label [name] in the bitmap gallery egg - i was taliking about it's size, and the jpeg size is uncompresed, just like png and webp, that was my point in answer to:
when I re-import a jpeg [that I saved compressed] it gets imported uncompressed; they all doQuote:
However if I open a new page and import jpg.jpg it reports a file size of 143Kb which I'd expect.
But when I import webp.webp I'm informed it would be better imported as a jpg, which I ignore. The Bitmap gallery reports it as 7Mb !!!
I see no sense in converting jpeg to webp as I've said; xara may not have got round to looking at this aspect, or they may just think most of their clients will still prefer to work in jpeg format
