Zip & Resize Photos 2011

Here are some key features of "Zip & Resize Photos":

General:
· Original picture QUALITY is preserved by our advanced, hi-end algorithms and technology
· JPEG Compression Engine with its wide choice options and abilities easily allows you to get any JPEG file size you desire. Specially optimized for higher picture quality. Minimizes possible quality loss and / or avoids extra re-compression
· Photo editing options include rotate, crop, fix red eyes, add text or graphic watermarks, change color levels, saturation, contrast, sharpness and more. The ability to make all of these photo processing options keeping the original image quality
· Profiles considerably improve the processing of multiple images the same way. A profile contains the most important compression parameters, along with resizing and photo correction options. You can create, save, edit and apply named profiles
· Batch processing mode lets you easily process multiple images. You can choose the profile, renaming and other options to process a selected group of photos. The optional Individual Batch Processing mode lets you make particular changes to each image from the batch

User Interface:
· Multi-document interface allows you to work with many images at the same time, enabling you to view and compare different compression parameters applied to either the same or different images
· Interactivity - the process of compression becomes visual, effectively trading image quality with file size by adjusting the compressor's settings. It also offers a preview of the resulting image immediately in the result image preview window
· Easy to use and highly customizable user interface

JPEG Compression Engine:
· Free, Original and Lossless compression modes provide the full range of program options from high image file size compression to editing without compression - for basic photo processing
· Target Value: File Size or Compression Ratio is a unique feature for graphic software. It allows you to create images whose file size is limited by the specified target value (in Kbytes) or compression ratio (like the "bit rate" parameter for audio files). You can easily acquire any file sizes for your JPEG's. Save your time on setting other compression related controls
· Graphic Detail Quality Equalizer is a unique feature that gives you significant flexibility in adjusting the quality of each compressed image. Its 5 bands are intended to tune compression levels applied to image details with different sizes (ranging from large to small)
· Compression-oriented image prefiltering helps achieve better compression/optimization results and improve the visual appearance of an image. You can choose one of five effects, change the level and radius (depth) of applying the active effect
· Separate compression sliders for Luma(intensity) and Chroma(color) channels allow you to gain better compression results and eliminate color artifacts, significantly improving the compressed image quality
· Selective image compression allows you to compress some areas of the image more or less than others. This useful feature allows you to save the highest quality for the most important parts of the image (such as faces) giving you excellent compression results
· Progressive JPEG images support allows images from the Web to be displayed at gradually improving quality as they download from the Internet or other source
· Integrity marks being inserted in the created JPEG image allow the decompression to be resumed if an image will be damaged during transmitting. This feature is extremely useful for creating images for transmission across unreliable networks
· Additional options exists for adjusting the precision of compression. This allows you to achieve the best results depending on priority: small file size or high image quality (with larger file size)
· Viewing/Editing invisible text - signature, copyright notice or comments can be embedded in your JPEG files
· EXIF data support allows you to keep or remove EXIF data from JPEG files. The Image Information dialog displays the EXIF data

Others:
· Highest quality resizing/resampling images can be achieved through our implemented Bicubic HQ VF method. It is the best of its kind for changing image resolution or dimensions or creating thumbnail images. Its variable Fidelity Level allows you to tune the resulting picture, softening or sharpening it
· Watermarks allow you to overlay a selected graphic file (such as a company logo) or some text (like a copyright notice or warning). Multiple watermarks can be used with independent parameters for each of them. You can save watermarks in profiles and apply them in Batch Processing
· An ability to acquire images from TWAIN compliant devices - such as scanners or digital cameras
· An ability to crop unnecessary portions of the image
