I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive

 

The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.

 

Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.

 

The uploaded JPEG is about 17MB in size, the AVIF 1.9MB.

 

This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.

I used this parameters:

avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif

 

The result is:

- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)

- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)

- 12 bit per channel

L'Étourneau Sansonnet comme tout un chacun peut le voir, est un bel oiseau très gourmand, qui vit en groupe et de ce fait devient invasif au détriment des autres oiseaux (Merle, Grive, Fauvette etc...).

Sur cette photo on peut déjà constater les dégâts causés sur les cerises avant même qu'elles ne soient mûres....

..............................................

Mille mercis par avance à vous tous pour vos visites, commentaires, critiques et compliments toujours très appréciés.

Je ne manquerais pas de visiter vos galeries respectives et d'y laisser un petit mot..

Excellente journée à vous.

Flower is mine. I made the desk paper copy and placed it on my monitor. I've had some changes since then. New phone, new desk lamp, new bigger monitor, better sound system, newer glasses, less hair (LOL) and larger mouse pad.

While exploring Squamish in September , we had a look in a public garden. I did not succeeded in growing a pumpkin this year ( only sunflowers and a few cherry tomatoes). I did not carve the pumpkin I had at home , only drawn a face - will not show it on Flickr. There were lots of fireworks in my neighbourhood last night. Today we start November with sun ( unfortunately it is not going to be sunny all week) . To all many thanks for your comment . Have a good week.

 

En explorant Squamish en septembre, nous avons jeté un coup d'œil dans un jardin public. Je n'ai pas réussi à faire pousser une citrouille cette année (seulement des tournesols et quelques tomates cerises). Je n'ai pas sculpté la citrouille que j'avais à la maison, j'ai seulement dessiné un visage - je ne le montrerai pas sur Flickr. Il y a eu beaucoup de feux d'artifice dans mon quartier hier soir. Aujourd'hui, nous commençons novembre avec du soleil (malheureusement il ne fera pas beau toute la semaine) . A tous un grand merci pour votre commentaire. Passe une bonne semaine.

The Alster Tower is often referred to as the Playhouse.

Completed in 1899, the Alster Tower is the most architecturally unique structure on Heart Island that was modeled after a Rhineland defense tower in Germany and purposely constructed with slanting and uneven walls, ceilings, and roofs. With a two-lane bowling alley, Kitchen, Billiard Room, Venetian Room, Library, Shell-Room and Theatre, George Boldt wanted to create the ideal atmosphere for recreational activities. Unlike the main Castle, the Boldt family used the tower up until the time of Louise’s death in 1904.

 

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

La tour Alster est souvent appelée le théâtre.

Achevée en 1899, la tour Alster est la structure architecturalement la plus unique de l’île Heart. Elle a été conçue d'après une tour de défense de Rhénanie en Allemagne et a été volontairement construite avec des murs, des plafonds et des toits inclinés et irréguliers. Avec une salle de quilles à deux pistes, une cuisine, une salle de billard, une salle vénitienne, une bibliothèque, une salle des coquillages et un théâtre, George Boldt voulait créer l'atmosphère idéale pour les activités récréatives. Contrairement au château principal, la famille Boldt a utilisé la tour jusqu'à la mort de Louise en 1904.

 

Inscrite au registre national des lieux historiques en 1978.
