Re: [PNG] Meeting minutes - Jul 7th, 2025

Dear all,

Just to follow up on an action item in the minutes:

Android has documentation about its use of PNG gainmaps for the screenshot
use case:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/graphics/hdr-screenshots#android16-hdr-shot

While it provides a general gainmap framework that we might want to
consider for PNG 4e, the spec does not document how ISO metadata is encoded.

Android source code documents how Android encodes PNGs with gainmaps here:
https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/main:external/skia/src/encode/SkPngEncoderImpl.cpp;l=299;drc=0d94e966268bbc200ea57e074f33afca6321e483

With the gaimap serialization happening here:
https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/main:external/skia/src/codec/SkGainmapInfo.cpp;l=246;drc=61197364367c9e404c7da6900658f1b16c42d0da

Sincerely,
Fares
