Description Yu-Hsuan Lai 2022-09-19 22:54:33 UTC
SUMMARY
The pngs exported from Krita are really huge when the .kra is in a colorspace and .png is converted to sRGB during export.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open test.kra in Krita
2. File -> Export -> Save as Type: png
3. Export with default options

OBSERVED RESULT
The exported png is 2.39MB

EXPECTED RESULT
The exported png is much smaller than that. I opened the exported file in Windows' built-in Photos, save a copy of it, and it's only 767KB.
If I converted the .kra in Krita and then exported it, it's about 400KB only.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Krita Version: 5.1.1
Qt Version (compiled): 5.12.12


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
test.kra is attached

test.kra is too large to be uploaded as an attachment. please download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g3wUlCMUCokH0O2qvt-y_YnB9WOmvyvJ/view?usp=sharing
Comment 2 Halla Rempt 2022-09-20 07:36:28 UTC
Yes, well, Photos doesn't support 16 bit/channel PNG, which krita does support. Converting to sRGB does not drop the channel depth to 8 bit/channel.

Is there an option to drop it to 8bit at export?
Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2022-09-20 10:47:33 UTC
No... You'll have to manually convert the channel depth for that.
