Hello everyone, We have a meeting this coming Monday. Here are some topics we can discuss. Feel free to reply with any topics you would like to add/alter. - Discussion topics - C2PA <https://spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.2/specs/C2PA_Specification.html#_embedding_manifests_into_png> (provenance and authenticity) - Last time, we asked how widely used it is. It sounds like billions of PNGs have been produced with the 'caBX' chunk, since AI systems include it when producing images. - Given this many images with 'caBX', perhaps we don't need to rename the chunk to 'cABX' when adding it to the spec. - SMPTE ST 2094-10 <https://github.com/w3c/png/issues/311> (tone mapping metadata) - We're waiting for more information. As such, this might be more of a status update report here than a discussion topic. - SMPTE 2094-50 <https://github.com/SMPTE/st2094-50> (gain curves) - A draft was just made public 3 days ago (follow link above). - Should we add a chunk for this? - T.35 <https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-T.35-200002-I> is related. - ISO 21496-1 <https://www.iso.org/standard/86775.html> (gain maps) - Any update on ISO possibly making this freely available? - Last meeting, we learned that W3C strongly prefers referencing freely available specs but makes exceptions. And that ISO is unlikely to make specs free (although, I recall we managed this in the past?). - If it seems unlikely for the spec to become freely available, should we continue with some new chunks? - Updates - Apple will help with the iDOT extension. - FileReadSpeedTest <https://github.com/ProgramMax/FileReadSpeedTest> tool created to help identify & test decoding performance goals.
