I've made some test with Gralic, flic, qlic and PackPNM

For comparison, these are the results I got for some recent version of FLIF:

Kodak set: 10 493 717
Lukas: 14 907 385
png-gallery: 4 118 486
SMBC: 2 896 567
webp-gallery: 395 129
wikipedia-photos: 69 733 385

Does anyone have some information on those other formats? Do they specialize in photographic images? Do they have progressive decoding?

[psykauze]

They are just specialised compressor. Gralic, flic and qlic are not maintained and there's no source code.

[gralic]

Gralic, flic and qlic are well maintained,
QLIC 2.demo was released today.

Thank you Alexander.

It was hard to find your news of your codec but I found it http://qlic.altervista.org/LPCB.html

(Also find really interresting discussions on encode.ru website)
