Looks like Trello might be trying to optimize the images in our cards, causing errors for our technicians who use these files to migrate to our software, after downloading.
Quick summary of our process, our PNG files are imported to cards using automation, and then they are downloaded to be used.
A NEW issue arose in the same environment we've been using for years that points to Trello trying to optimize the images automatically, which it never did before - this is altering the file that is meant to be "knit ready" for our machines negatively. I don't see a setting to stop it from optimizing images.
It is converting the PNG formatted files to WEBP.
How can we stop this from happening?

I'm also not a fan of the WEBP change.

We do a lot of graphical work - to be able to preview an image as a PNG in trello, rt-click, copy/paste it straight into photoshop or other program is a regular part of our workflow. With the WEBP preview, we can't do that without it ending as a blurry mess.

While we can still get the original PNG uploaded, we now have to click download, find the image, open it image separately, etc. it ends up being a lot more clicks.

Please give us an option to opt out of WEBP
