New issue 377 by
julio.ve...@crossknight.com.ar: Physical aspect of image is lost
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webp/issues/detail?id=377What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get an image with 300 dpi (PNG file with a pHYs chunk, or a JPG with Xdensity/Ydensity; for example, an image saved with Adobe Photoshop).
2. Use cwebp to convert the file to webp format.
3. Open the file with any viewer, like XnViewMP.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The intended physical aspect should be known, either with a specific field in the WebP structure, or at least being able to tell cwebp to migrate the pHYs or X/Ydensity data into the EXIF XResolution / YResolution / ResolutionUnit fields.
Currently there's no easy way to know the original image physical aspect. Even if the EXIF data is copied (-metadata exif), usually that's not the intended physical resolution. E.g. cameras usually set the resolution to 72 dpi, so that will be the reported dpi even after resampling the image.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
libwebp-0.6.1-rc2-windows-x64-no-wic.
Please provide any additional information below.
