The practical practioner point in Cathy’s idea is worth considering.
Here’s more user context:
Sharing some tests I did to show how new image format support needs some love in Ghost. It’s far too manual and blackbox.
People who value visual quality but also want fast and efficient websites could benefit from improved image format support and control. This would save bandwidth for everyone and make pages load faster.
This aligns with Ghost’s value proposition of fast and efficient hosting.
For me, this is about the ultimate goal of better user-centered design in the admin settings. It involves supporting better image formats and providing minimal/simple user control over image format processing within the admin user interface. This way, anyone who needs high-quality photos for their business can easily work with Ghost. (This includes journalists, photographers, music scenes, media professionals, architects, and many more…)
Pro Admins should be able to specify and control image format types, and parameters, in Ghost’s site settings UI.
