File circle-trns-after-plte.png
An opaque blue circle on a transparent green background.
It is of color type 2 (PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB) and has a tRNS chunk after a PLTE chunk.
File circle-trns-before-plte.png
An opaque blue circle on a transparent green background.
It is of color type 2 (PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB) and has a tRNS chunk before a PLTE chunk. Since the PNG specification version 1.2 says “the tRNS chunk [...] must follow the PLTE chunk, if any”, libpng considers the tRNS chunk as invalid and ignores it.

Source: Metadata was extracted from paris_exif_xmp_icc.jpg with exiftool -tagsfromfile paris_exif_xmp_icc.jpg paris_exif_xmp_icc.xmp. The text of the first book of De finibus bonorum et malorum was manually inserted in that file under the tag xmp:Label and the second book under the tag xmp:Nickname (any < or > removed to avoid conflicts with XMP). The file was reconstructed with exiftool -tagsfromfile paris_exif_xmp_icc.xmp -Exif= -icc_profile= paris_exif_xmp_icc.jpg -o paris_extended_xmp.jpg. The goal is to have a large XMP blob so that it can only be stored as multiple extended XMP chunks.

The color planes are arranged as a 1x2 grid item. The alpha plane items are tagged as dimg for each color plane item (without a grid item on its own). This is allowed per the specification. libavif should decode such files correctly (i.e.) it should report them as files with alpha channel.
Box structure of the items in this file:
[primary item grid] ^ ^ |dimg |dimg | | [color] [color] ^ ^ |auxl |auxl | | [alpha] [alpha]

Files colors*hdr.avif and colors_sdr_srgb.avif
SDR and HDR (PQ) AVIF images in various colorspaces. The files with ‘wcg’ (wide color gamut) in their name have colors outside of the sRGB color space. The files without ‘wcg’ in their name have sRGB colors, but expressed in various color spaces.
The files with ‘text’ in their name have text on them. They are not currently used in tests but can be used for manual testing of gain maps (e.g. with avifgainmaputil combine ...), as they make it easy to see which version the browser is displaying.
HDR/wide color gamut images should be viewed on an HDR display, such as on a M1+ Mac Book Pro.
Source : created with Photoshop 25.1.0 (Camera Raw 16.0.1.1683), see sources/colors.psd and https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/hdr-output.html, https://gregbenzphotography.com/hdr-images/jpg-hdr-gain-maps-in-adobe-camera-raw/
Basic process: create a 32bit image, export it as png for the SDR version. Then open the Camera Raw filter (Filter > Camera Raw Filter...), click HDR at the top right, and drag the histogram towards the right to create brighter pixels. Click the save icon on the top right. Select AVIF as output format and check “HDR output” then save. To create an image with a wider color gamut, choose Edit > Assign Profile... and set the color space to e.g. BT 2020.
To export more images from sources/colors.psd:
- For SDR, show/hide the layers as desired then export to PNG then convert to avif with avifenc
- For HDR, show/hide the layers as desired then flatten the image, (Layers > Flatten Image), open the Camera Raw dialog, and click the save icon on the top right.
- For the wide color gamut version, choose Edit > Assign Profile... and set the color space to Rec.ITU-R BT.2020-1
