Show HN: Floating-Point JPEG Decoder

3 points by rsaxvc a month ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

I modified STB-Image's JPEG codec to render JPEG files directly to 32-bit floating-point pixels to reduce color banding when editing images.

Coincidentally, this can recompress JPEGs much more consistently, eventually stabilizing when the recompression gives an image the exact same compressed file.
