[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 06/18] avcodec/png: set correct alpha mode

[Niklas Haas <ffmpeg@haasn.xyz>]

From: Niklas Haas <git@haasn.dev>

PNG always uses straight alpha.

cf. https://www.w3.org/TR/PNG-Rationale.html

> Although each form of alpha storage has its advantages, we did not want to
> require all PNG viewers to handle both forms. We standardized on non-
> premultiplied alpha as being the lossless and more general case.
