Innovations described herein include, but are not limited to, the following: intra-picture prediction with multiple candidate reference lines available; encoding/decoding of reference line indices using prediction; filtering of reference sample values; residue compensation; weighted prediction; mode-dependent padding to replace unavailable reference sample values; using in-loop-filtered reference sample values; encoder-side decisions for selecting reference lines; and post-filtering of predicted sample values.
