This isn't quite correct. If the mode is P, it is Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY. Pillow/src/PIL/PngImagePlugin.py Line 1140 in 0c8cc31 Lines 655 to 658 in 0c8cc31 Pillow/src/libImaging/ZipEncode.c Lines 85 to 86 in 0c8cc31 |

compress_typesave option for PNG. It gets passed to zlib as the deflate strategy, but it wasn't in the handbook (it came up in Saving PNG images with PIL is 4 times slower than saving them with OpenCV #5986 as a way to speed up saving)zlib.Z_FILTERED, which is what ZipEncode.c uses for PNG when it isn't setI saved a gradient with each strategy to check they all work and that leaving it out gives the same file as
Z_FILTERED. sphinx-lint is happy.
