Lovely, subtle colors, they almost look like a watercolor.

You have a great eye!

Take if from the sunset guy! Great stuff.

My question is: How did you create an avif file?
I of course, dragged it to the computer file system so I could see it in the large, which it deserves.

Turns out is is an avif file, which my computer opens in GIMP by default, though it opens in Preview on the mac, which I can make the default for avif, but this may be the first avif file I ever ran into.

Not to be over-technical, but I'm the go-to guy for computer stuff. I just fixed a disappearing gmail account over the phone yesterday.

And I do love sunsets.
There's always a surprise inside!!!

Enjoy your posts.

What kind of file is that?

I never noticed until I saved the picture to disk so as to view it larger than the browser window.

People keep coming up with formats with different kinds of compression.
Google invented webp, which is very compact, "because they could", but a lot of programs can't comprehend it.

Things like this just obsolete older hardware and software that can't be upgraded to catch up.

The image host (posting.cc) reports this:



And that's all I know.
Fine photo. I'm glad that it renders well.
Despite technology!

At least I think I do.

Some of my Canon cameras can produce HEIF images. I think they are better than JPEGs when images are processed internally in the camera, but slightly larger. I've hardly ever used them.

I think AV1 files are related to HEIFs.

AVIF are a subset of HEIF oe HEIC.

I stick with jpg or png (usually larger) for sharing.

Hope this helped.

produce a jpg, but no more. I didn't know what to do until I tried erasing "avif" and typing in jpg and that reproduced the original image.

If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear 'em, but when post images stopped producing an avif instead of a jpg file I was stumped.

Did you ever get this image in jpg?

"open image in new tab" goes to the hosting site and the download says avif file.

Dragging it to the computer gave me this: temp-Image7ow-Hf7-1.jpg.avif as a file.

If nobody had a problem, then they all must have really modern browsers that render it.

I am not one to argue with success! but my years of tracking down computer bugs always has me looking.

In this case, I wanted to see an enlarged image (more like the original) and the EXIF, which tells me the focal length and exposure, because I am always learning.

I uploaded the avif to imgbb.com and it returned a jpeg (you can check it)
"The Cloud" does things beyond our control!
