Everybody can use whichever pictures they like as far as I am concerned.
Not really, it’s a shared data set to make sure colours appear at uniform levels across different media and types of software in order to maintain stable image formats that can be sent over internet protocols…
…the whole point is to have a catalogue of standard test images to compare transfer and compression results to globally.
Seems like this is a much more important than any of the other discussions going on. How many results were tainted by the fact that they were compressing a dithered print image.
There’s also value in not basing your image compression algorithm on a low resolution scan of a magazine from the 1970s.
Yeah, there is, so do not do that and let others do that if they want.

FFS, it’s as if there could be only one way for everyone

Considering it was defined as the benchmark, none.
