Image Compressor is a professional photo post-production software that lets you view, compare, retouch, and compress your digital photos. It also provides screen capture functionality, web photo album creation, and an automatic image-to-email-attachment compression tool.

Anyone who works with digital photos will appreciate the all-in-one functionality that Image Compressor provides. By integrating the most common photography tasks, Image Compressor makes it possible for people to view their photos, compare one photo to another, retouch if required, and finally compress them. Consequently, users will save time, optimize storage usage, and reduce bandwidth consumption during image uploading and transfer.

Why is Image Compressor intelligent? Unlike any other image processing software, it analyze every individual pixel and automatically adjust compression levels to maintain the highest possible picture quality.

An Image Comparison Tool lets you compare 2 images side-by-side. Use visual criteria to decide or any of these quantitative measures:
    -Peak Absolute Error (PAE) over one pixel.
    -Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
    -The ratio of mean square difference to the maximum mean square.
    -Mean absolute error (MAE), average channel error distance.
    -Mean squared error (MSE), averaged squared error distance.
    -Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).
Image Retouch:
    -Resize image or canvas, trim out spaces in your photo.
    -Merge and blend multiple images.
    -Edit EXIF information.
    -Fine tune the color balance, lighting, and warmth of your images.

Image Compressor provides five image resizing options:
    -By percentage, with proportional resize.
    -By setting the image width (proportional height).
    -By setting the image height (proportional width).
    -By setting maximum image width and height. Image will be resized proportionally only if width or height is larger than given values.
    -By setting both image width and height.
Change Photo Orientation: Lossless image rotation.
Watermark Photo: Add simple text or images to your photos. Variable opacity.

Review what others have to say...
“With Image Compressor, you can have the best of both worlds, optimum file size as well as superb quality because it uses a proprietary Digital Eye method to analyze each pixel and automatically adjusts compression levels. The development team seems to have thought of just about everything a photographer would need and then some.”- Must Have Application, Tucows Editorial Review
“I take photos everyday doing Home owners Insurance Inspections, I upload into my computer and attach to reports, standard photo size of 640x480 is required and sometimes my digital camera resets back to HG and I always find out to late so the need to compress is important and saves time with reports, your product saved me twice already!”- Edward Sopko
“This is truly a great tool to save some disk space occupied by images and at the same time not losing quality of images even by a bit !!! Four thumbs up Guys (Showing my toes) !!!”- Sunarto
“Image Compressor Lite does everything I need it to do. Pictures out of today's high-megapixel cameras are just too large to email to friends, and Image Compressor Lite prepares all of my pictures at once for emailing with its batch mode. Excellent!”- David Roe
“The quality is great. For a similar file size (to your compressed file) from Photoshop I got the worst quality (0) JPEG (a really bad quality). Equal quality I think I got with (5) JPEG but with larger file by 40% that means better overall result for your compressor. Equal quality I think I got with (5) JPEG but with larger file by 40% that means better overall result for your compressor.”- Apostolidis Dimitris
“Because your product offered the most features and the best User Interface of all the products that I downloaded and tried. I must have downloaded at least a dozen different software products but I came RUNNING back to this one as soon as I could.”- Brian Reed
“Ability to recompress JPEG up to only 8% of the original filesize with no visible quality loss. The image analyzer does the job well done. Easy to use, support multiple files, just like zipping your files. Comes with compress, resize, rotate and watermark functions make this software a complete photography tool.”- Mghirardello2

S B How do the images compressed with IC 2008 Pro compare to those compressed with various other graphics programs (Photoshop, IrfanView, etc.) using their various "quality" settings?

Will IC 2008 compress noticibly better than, for instance, IrfanView?

I've just used IrfanView to compress the "Circular Quay and Colourful Sydney .Original image" from www.image-compressor.com and the results with IrfanView are pretty impressive (clearity, few visible artifacts, more than 50% compression).

Please help us understand IC 2008's advantages.

Thanks!

Rizal Firmansyah Image Compressor main advantage is in its Digital Eye technology.
It lets you compress images using "auto-pilot": You don't have to preview and select compression level for each and every images. Digital Eye does it automatically for you.
Digital Eye detects important objects in each photo and make sure the compressed image has the optimum quality and filesize - that is keep the important objects as clearly as possible.

As you can see in the sample gallery section in Image Compressor's website, the "Circular Quay" image can be compressed to 70% ratio.

Using Digital Eye, we gain many advantages, such as:
1. Ability to batch compress images correctly.
2. By detecting objects, Image Compressor can find similar looking images.
3. Image Compressor can enlarge images 10x or more, and keep the sharpness as good as possible.

More information about the technology can be found here:

David Gilmour As a pro photographer, I have to say that I am really impressed with this product. I bought it about a week ago, after seeing it highlighted on BDJ, and I have been giving it a real workout ever since.

I have been using it to shrink full res image files before uploading them to both, my gallery hosting / post-production service providers, and my photo labs / print shops. These upload jobs can involve hundreds of image files, each several MB in size; cutting the size of these files by 50% -- I'm seeing a wide variation in size reduction from file to file, but it's averaging about 50% for me -- means file upload jobs can be completed hours sooner.

I have also been using it to shrink full full res image files following Photoshop processing, in preparation for importing the image files into my album layout software; smaller image files means that my layout software is performing more responsively than before.

Both kinds of applications are saving me precious time. Although Image Compressor's batch resizing operation itself takes time, I have been seeing a net time savings for me in the end, especially since these batch processing jobs can be run in the background with seemingly little impact on system performance.
