Art direction use case: crop image differently depending on how much space you have.
12:42:57 [lstorset]
Design breakpoints: You get pixelation or JPEG artifacts at certain points. Designers adapt the design to different breakpoints and adapt the images to that.
12:43:01 [Cyril]

ScribeNick: lstorset
12:46:09 [lstorset]
More aesthetically pleasing to show different image in portrait and landscape mode
12:46:26 [lstorset]
media- and feature-specific responses
12:46:50 [lstorset]
Most people won't notice, but good for TVs: When app is scaled up to a dimension where images don't keep up, they get badly pixelated
12:47:01 [lstorset]
You want to replace image with higher quality
12:47:20 [lstorset]
Another use case is APIs
12:47:30 [lstorset]
Canvas, gUM(), MediaCapture

frex, on IOS 6 and Android you can take panoramas out of the box, 22 Mpix imgs
12:48:11 [lstorset]
want to show specific bits to specific devices
12:48:19 [lstorset]
Final case: Image formats
12:48:26 [lstorset]
WebP, JPEG-XR
12:48:35 [lstorset]
Not universally supported, but represents >20% of market
12:48:40 [lstorset]
Opera, Chrome

With Windows 8, JPEG-XR to many clients, depending on uptake of that os
12:49:13 [lstorset]
Can't target w/o server-side solution, though
12:49:22 [lstorset]
Can't test whether browser supports img. format out of the box
12:49:29 [lstorset]
Also for futur eformats
12:49:32 [lstorset]
hard to add new formats
12:49:35 [lstorset]
to the web
12:49:51 [lstorset]
<video> does provide a solution, but not pretty
12:50:06 [lstorset]
because codec war happen to be going on, and this solution was a fix
12:50:11 [lstorset]
could be useful for imgs as well.
12:50:28 [lstorset]
This is what the CG has looked on in the past year
12:50:40 [lstorset]
Iterative process to define use cases
12:50:56 [lstorset]
Initially heavily focused on bandwidth, but we as CG can't address that.

12:52:45 [lstorset]
Comments about use cases?
12:53:00 [lstorset]
??: …
12:53:12 [lstorset]
Alt has problems, e.g. with accesibility. Can't add markup structures
12:53:16 [lstorset]
can't set direction of text
12:53:22 [lstorset]
without Unicode points
12:53:30 [lstorset]
can't express role of an image
12:53:36 [lstorset]
i18n issue is a big one.
12:54:11 [lstorset]
??: Why would you want additional ontent for an image?
12:54:27 [lstorset]

… solutions are tailored for online/offline, don't need to download 20 differet versions
12:57:25 [lstorset]
… Also applicable to e-books
12:57:32 [lstorset]
… videos in e-books
12:57:55 [lstorset]
??: Maybe things can be ported from videos. Could select image from pbandwidth.
12:58:26 [lstorset]
??b: Videos can be much bigger. Can request ranges over time. 1-2 videos per page. With images, many more.

… re: performance better to send only one request per image
12:59:04 [chaals]
chaals has joined #respimg
12:59:12 [lstorset]
… if two reqs per img – main problem is fetching.
12:59:31 [lstorset]
… If we had format to represent multiple resolutions (jpeg2000), problem is still fetching mechanism
12:59:37 [lstorset]
… need to fetch img. header with bytemap
12:59:42 [lstorset]
… then the actual content
12:59:58 [lstorset]
… May be other solutions, I am working on some things
13:00:20 [lstorset]
?? telecom: SVG is working on mapping and tiling images.
13:00:31 [lstorset]
… Changing layouts at the same time?
13:00:41 [lstorset]
Marcos1: odinho will cover the latter
13:00:56 [lstorset]
chaals: Adapt to videos as they are downloadinng. imgs are single hit.
13:01:15 [lstorset]
… if imgs were downloaded in stream, could use video solution

13:01:57 [Cyril]
s/??/Cyril Concolato/
13:02:21 [lstorset]
odinho: Don't want lots of negotiation with server-side, doesn't scale. Want logic in client.

[slides]
13:02:41 [lstorset]
Two proposals
13:02:52 [lstorset]
Very different at a fundamental level, but somewhat hard to see it.
13:03:12 [lstorset]
Many UCs, I'm focusing on having different size pictures and don't want huge pictures under the fold
13:03:39 [lstorset]
Difference between srcset and picture, is that scset is shorter, declarative and UA may choose algorithm. The latter is important.
13:03:55 [lstorset]
srcset only gives hints, does not tell the ua what to do.
13:04:03 [lstorset]
picture is more powerful, has known behavior, not a hint.
13:04:38 [lstorset]
… If your user is extremely interested in small image sizes due to expensive data, the page author won't send the user what the user wants
13:05:02 [lstorset]
… Why don't authors like MQs?
13:05:19 [lstorset]
… Telling ua exactly what to do and how.

13:05:57 [lstorset]
… uas may want to do more smart stuff in the future. A small browser with specific user group may want to behave in another way than what the author thought about.
13:06:09 [lstorset]
… 2x–like selection is not enough
13:06:16 [lstorset]
… (from <picture>)
13:06:44 [lstorset]
… NOt only about swithing resolutions. On my phone a 2x dpi display
13:07:10 [lstorset]
… will fetch the big picture, even if small display doesn't benefit from it
13:07:43 [lstorset]
… print customization is possible with MQs
13:07:52 [lstorset]
[code sample]
13:08:14 [lstorset]
<picture> <source media="min-width…">
13:08:19 [lstorset]
… same with srcset
13:08:47 [lstorset]
… <picture> needs an extra line for media=print
13:08:57 [lstorset]
… That's a big problem. Both because it prevents innovation
13:09:10 [lstorset]
… e.g. "browsing" with printer
13:09:28 [lstorset]
… high dpi won't be visible
13:09:40 [lstorset]
… If the ua knows which image is biggest, it can just fetch that, ignoring hints
13:10:16 [lstorset]
Marcos1: I don't understand the ex. If I had a 10x img, how do I tell it to use that for printing?
13:10:48 [lstorset]
odinho: An even bigger picture
13:10:49 [lstorset]
?
13:11:16 [lstorset]
… The 10x img won't be downloaded by desktop and mobile browser
13:11:35 [lstorset]
… Proposed algorithm won't take anything bigger than it's at
13:12:09 [lstorset]
marcos: Want something between mega-quality an dlow quality. (Bit of a nitpick)
13:12:46 [lstorset]
… Maybe not a disconnect, but different approach for design perspective. Designers are used to pixel-level control. Maybe not ideal, but here thye do have to give up control.
13:12:54 [lstorset]
… <picture> gives absolute control, srcset hints
13:13:29 [lstorset]
… The risk I see in the future is that srcset gets used, devs notice that when scaling window, this hint is not responded to.

13:15:23 [lstorset]

13:15:43 [hober]

13:15:47 [lstorset]
… As long as the responsive solution is easier than JS, most people will use the easy way out.

13:20:55 [lstorset]
… srcset bypasses the problem by just extending <img>
13:21:13 [lstorset]
??b: Not just a question of semantics and whether img in CSS or HTML
13:21:15 [Marcos]
Marcos has joined #respimg
13:21:29 [lstorset]
… Big difference is that HTML is content, can change day to day/minute to minute. CSs is constant and cacheable
13:21:42 [lstorset]
… if you start putting content imgs in css, can no longer cache effectively.
13:21:54 [hober]
RRSAgent, make logs public
13:22:02 [lstorset]
… re: prefetching: Solution must work with preloader
13:22:17 [lstorset]

… Added 2s CSS fetch time to this case
13:25:13 [lstorset]
… only single wide mobile image is being preloaded before rendering kicks in
13:25:29 [lstorset]
… problem with current prototype is that fallback img doesn't get preloaded, only when parsed
13:25:34 [lstorset]
… a WIP
13:26:23 [lstorset]
… prototype does not react to resizing event, but once resized, the right source should be chosen
13:26:31 [lstorset]
MArcos: Prototype is at least functional
13:26:42 [lstorset]
… not ideal, not how we envision, but making inroads
13:26:48 [lstorset]
… Just To play with idaes

… Want to look at hwhole problem space to find solutions. Quite helpful to have this discussion here.
13:27:24 [lstorset]
… Understanding from perspective of community and browser vendors. Hopefully those weilll become one and the same.
13:27:35 [lstorset]
odinho: 80%/20% concept is important
13:27:56 [lstorset]
… We also need to look at those UCs. I think quite a lot of our UCs are in the 20% case
13:28:20 [lstorset]
… Need something really easy and nice for 80%, but 20 % should be there too
13:28:23 [lstorset]
…maybe later
13:28:27 [Marcos]
Marcos has joined #respimg
13:29:11 [lstorset]
yoav: not sure which are 80 % and which 20% for you, but re: preloading, all current respimg hacks suffer from lack of cacheing, disable prefetching or fetch twice
13:29:31 [lstorset]
Travis: How does each proposal address art direction UC?
13:29:37 [lstorset]
… Multiple copies on the server?
