Yes--that's just my point!
I use to do my own covers in Gimp, usually to follow the first edition one, if available, cleaned up from blocking/scratches/blurb. Which implies putting brand new text.
Alas! jpg comes out full of artifacts around said text edges (inside and out)--even with no subsampling and quality 85, which together keep the image size aceptable for my (wholly personal) standards.
Lossless png hasn't that problem, but size soars up out of limits, and indexed png is great for lineal maps/plans, but not for multicolored, smooth backgrounds.
So--Many thanks, Kevin, for adding webp support to sigil--another reason for looking forward to the new release.
