          Perhaps adult photography of well-endowed dongles won't fit in ordinary JPEG images.

            Possibly, yes. It compresses existing JPEGs even more and it has a lossless mode. The latter is the biggie because so much is already done in JPEG.

            I did some quick test using 50 pictures I shot the other day. Using ImageMagick (default settings) I converted 1.4GB of PEF images down to 80.4MB and 565.6MB of JPEGs down to 85.3MB. PEF is Pentax RAW. Yes, it compressed the RAWs more than JPEGs of the exact same images (I was shooting in RAW/JPEG mode). For the PEFs I did a second run where I switched to -compress lossless and got the exact same sizes. That seems odd.

            Visually, the only downside that I had was that all the PEFs had a green tint to them. I don't think imagemagick was accounting for the white balance. Whatever the case, that's massive size savings from some quick conversion tests using the defaults.

              As someone with photo hoarding, I welcome any effort to squeeze more images on my tiny drives.

                    Again using imagemagick, I used the same sample set of 50 PEFs at 1.4GB down to 14.8mb. So far it wins.

                    If anyone wants the same commands I'm using:

                    Code:
                    find /folder/of/images -type f -iregex '.*PEF$' | parallel convert {} {.}.avif
                    Change the input and output file types accordingly.
