Add macro JPEG_RAW_READER that defines whether to pass RAW sample data from input to output JPEG files (hence preserving color space and sampling). Macro is now disabled by default. Add code to copy metadata from input to output JPEG, hence preserving color profiles and other important information
Mozilla JPEG Encoder Project
This project's goal is to reduce the size of JPEG files without reducing quality or compatibility with the vast majority of the world's deployed decoders.
The idea is to reduce transfer times for JPEGs on the Web, thus reducing page load times.
'mozjpeg' is not intended to be a general JPEG library replacement. It makes tradeoffs that are intended to benefit Web use cases and focuses solely on improving encoding. It is best used as part of a Web encoding workflow. For a general JPEG library (e.g. your system libjpeg), especially if you care about decoding, we recommend libjpeg-turbo.
