I'm pretty excited for lossless jxl. Honestly the encoders kinda suck. Been working on something for a bit that I may share at some point but TLDR; here's a lossless encoding of the cat image on the blog at 178kb (down ~30% from the 255kb) www.linolevan.com/06-illustrat...

What setting did you use to get that?

Didn't use a stock encoder (I've been working on one based on libjxl). On illustrations like this, a well ordered global palette tends to do better instead of a ton of local palettes. What I meant when I said current encoders kinda suck.
