As always, we will post everything about the details here and on our social media accounts in the next weeks.
JPEG XL is a very powerful photo format that allows substantially better compression than JPG, and is most of all a completely royalty-free and open standard. It allows for transparency (alpha channel), even lossless encoding, if required.
Another relatively new photo format gaining traction these days is webp, originally developed by Google.
NeoFinder has been able to read thumbnails of these files, using QuickLook, for a while already, but in macOS 14 and newer, NeoFinder 8.9 can now natively read and process webp files just like HEIC or JPEG.
