Softpedia Editor's Review for Image Compressor 2008 Pro Edition
|
The one and only compression software that compress your JPEG file with barely noticeable quality loss
Written by Elena Opris on November 9th, 2011
Wouldn't you like to be able to easily transfer image files over the internet? That's not always possible, due to the fact that files like these usually have a large size (especially photographs with a high resolution).
Image Compressor 2008 Pro Edition is a compression tool that solely focuses on image files. It can convert them to a size that is small enough to be sent online, but while fairly maintaining image quality.
This software recognizes most commonly used image file types, including but not limited to JPEG, TIFF, PSD, RAW, and it only converts them to the JPEG format.
The user interface of Image Compressor is pretty hectic (especially if you want to retouch an image), so you have to really explore it the first time you open it.
We first tried compressing a small JPG image. The quality was maintained, and the size was reduced by almost a half. When we opened a large PNG file for compression, the size was massively reduced (by over 90%), but the quality was damaged as well (and that was clearly seen).
Also, the trial version can be only used for testing the software, because every compressed image comes with a Image Compressor 2008 Pro Edition stamp on it, so the image is basically unusable.
CPU and memory are minimally used, but this software seems to be very cluttered for the one function it was designed to do. Its price is kind of high, as well.
But overall, Image Compressor 2008 Pro Edition is a fairly decent software for compressing images.
