Image Compressor Pro Edition 2008

Image Compressor 2008 is, just likes its name suggest, an application dedicated to shrinking images. Its aim is to also diminish the compromise on quality, so that the loss is barely noticeable for large files and invisible for normal-sized images.

Aside from its main purpose, Image Compressor 2008 also serves for viewing, enhancing and sharing digital photos. It recognizes most commonly used image file types, including but not limited to JPEG, TIFF, PSD, RAW, TIFF, BMP, PCX, GIF and compresses them to JPEG format only.

Following a short and complication-free installation process, you are acquainted with the program’s interface. The fact is that it doesn’t make an impression through its looks, but the accent falls on functionality. Even though the GUI is not the most sparkly or eye-candying that you’ve ever seen, it’s not difficult to work with.

Image Compressor 2008 bundles its functions in menus that include image processing functions (resize, rotate, merge), color adjustments (sepia, gray scale, red-eye fixer, negative, auto white balance), special effects (noise remover, blur, sharpen, soften) and text & annotations (adds text to images).

During our tests, Image Compressor 2008 got an A. We compressed several images and digital photos via its platform and we were amazed by the result. In some cases, the compression rate exceeded 80 % with very little quality loss.

Image Compressor 2008 is awesome. Its revolutionary compression algorithm gets the job done in seconds, without leaving a heavy footprint on quality.
