just installed on my Mac mini and loving it. A Photoshop user for decades this somehow feels smoother (and looks better) than PS. I had an image I was trying to enlarge with AI and could only get so far (free) and as my very first file in PhotoCraft, I thought I run a crazy experiment and scale the image 4x and WOW, fantastic job.

Better scale than I remember PS doing. Five stars. Thanks to the developer a million thanks.

Could be a game changer for many soon!
It's still a bit buggy with minor display issues in this version, but runs pretty quickly and smoothly (i.e. quicker and smoother than Photoshop). I've only done a few tests, but seems to handle large complex multi-layered files with ease. Keep an eye on each beta update as it gets closer to it's target V1.0 version.
One to watch!

Brave just enabled it by default for stable users yesterday (1.97).

Not specified is chromeOS will be passively gaining decode capability too, and Webview (all droids), so apps and games displaying web content should be able to serve jpegxl images without needing any change).

Not directly related, but for reading jxl images on android, recommended is either Fossify Gallery (no animation) or Refra (full support, handy features - grapheneOS picked it as its gallery).

Really interesting news - I had no idea Amazon was switching the new Fire TV Stick 4K over to Vega OS and that it would block sideloading entirely.

Good to know the older Fire OS models like the 4K Max still let you run Kodi, since that is the whole reason a lot of people buy these sticks. Thanks for the clear breakdown, saved me from buying the wrong model.
