@o-l-a-v Might just need to update the libjxl library, see > #19

[Alex313031]

@o-l-a-v I updated it to 0.9.0 in the M120 version. Can you test?

[o-l-a-v]

Thanks, will test tomorrow if I remember it. :)

Thorium still struggles with this image. Thorium v120.0.6099.235 AVX2 to the right, GIMP to the left.

[Alex313031]

@o-l-a-v Nothing more I can do, as I cannot update the libjxl library past 0.9.0. They removed some stuff that it critical for integrating into blink in 0.9.1. Im sorry.

[Traneptora]

What was removed that was critical for integrating into blink?

libjxl/libjxl@b08a704

The deleted things are here. We modified the code based on the patches provided by Google engineers, and the version numbers are consistent with those used by Google engineers.

@Traneptora

[Traneptora]

How are any of those things critical? Most of them are encoder settings, except for JxlDecoderGetDefaultPixelForamt which is noncritical (you either request an image in the pixel format you need, you look at the bit depth tag in the header if you want to use the image's tagged format).

[Alex313031]

@Traneptora @o-l-a-v @gz83 We fixed it, as they fixed it upstream. Now we are using libhighway 1.0.7, and libjxl 0.9.2.

[Alex313031]

@o-l-a-v @Traneptora Can you try the M121 version and report back

[o-l-a-v]

@Alex313031

They still don't look the same.

[gz83]

0.9.2 is the latest publicly released version. If you still cannot get the expected results, there may be other factors affecting it.

@o-l-a-v

Sure, but that's out of my knowledge.

Thorium devs say "We fixed it, as they fixed it upstream." without even trying the test image in this issue original post apperently.
I just report that: No, the problem still persists.

Maybe @Traneptora or JXL devs have more knowledge about what causes this.

[Alex313031]

@o-l-a-v Dang, I'm sorry. No I didn't test, I just assumed it would fix it since 0.9.1 (and hence 0.9.2), is supposed to fix HDR issues.

[o-l-a-v]

No worries @Alex313031, I also understand that this could be out of your/Thorium's control. :)
