Sounds complicated. Why not PNG? :-)

PNG is really bad for anything photographic. As in, it's pixel-perfect, and the images are also absolutely enormous, unusably so.

PNG, while being a very nice format, is dramatically larger than JPEG, JPEG-XL, AVIF, HEIF etc. For multi-megapixel images that size cost adds up.
