	PNG and MNG tools MNG MAGN Proposal

MNG MAGN chunk proposal

• Lena demo:
  
  This 29173-byte JPEG, lena-magn-demo.jpg, shows how the example in the proposal will look, except that the drop shadow will be subtlely alpha-blended with the blue gradient. Using reduced-dimension images with MAGN chunks, the same image could be represented in MNG in under 11000 bytes.
